Creating Your Own Blanket

 Today we are really going to look at what goes into making a blanket. The Mario graphs work well because the Mario Video Games are in what they call "8-bit". That means that it is all small little "box" that make up the image. And that is what a graph is. They are boxes coloured to make up an image. Those images can be small (like the Mario Graphs we are sharing this year), or quite large like a full blanket. But they all work on the same principle.

(Example of a Square Graph Grid)

Keeping this in mind, this will help you create layouts for your blankets with these Super Mario 2 Graphs. The main thing to remember is that you want to put the same sizes together. So if you are using a 25 x 50 landscape graph you need to match those measurements to make the blanket even. Now this doesn't have to be the exact same. For example, you can use two 25 x 25 graphs to make up the 50 side of the first graph. But you want to make sure everything lines up properly.

Mario Layouts - Blanket Five

 This year has been a hectic year. And we had great intentions for our Mario crochet along we had plans for all kinds of blankets and different options to go with it! Unfortunately, this seemed to become very confusing! So what we have decided to do is to post the layouts we have create and simply give some helpful advice when we can. We are doing our absolute best to make sure you have different graphs and enough for every option! But now you have a little more freedom to plan them out and move them around.

Our best suggestion is to only make the items once all the crocheting is done. This way you can lay them all out and see exactly what goes where and what fits together nicely.

No matter which path you have chosen the basics of the blanket will look like this. Again you can choose the different sizes at the bottom. Also if you want a wider blanket we have two options for that also. Again this will change depending on what size you pick at the bottom. (If you go with the longer ones you will want to use a shorter one on the size and vice versa.)

Baby Blocks Crochet Quilt

There is no creator listed to credit with this blanket but it is very nice. It says for baby but by simply adding more squares it would make a great blanket for an adult also, or a wedding gift in the right colours. The pattern is free here.
