    DIY sweater blanket

    Friends gave me a huge sweater for threads. But when I started to dissolve it from the sleeves, I immediately realized that the threads in it were β€œnot of the first youth,” so nothing of them could be knitted. Replacing and loosening the sleeves, as well as the side seams, I unfolded in front of me a large knitted rectangle with a hole for the neckline in the middle - it immediately formed in my head that I liked the color scheme and was great for a blanket.
    From the threads that came out when the sleeves were unraveled. I knitted two borders.

    Knitted square motifs (you can use any crochet pattern you like) and connected them into a ribbon. I sewed the resulting openwork "braid" along the edges of the knitted fabric, increasing its width from 69 to 90 cm. I made a fringe from the rest of the threads and tied it along the edges of the ribbon, additionally decorated the plain areas with the same motifs. In the area of ​​the neck, open loops remained. I closed the hole in a single fabric with a special knitted seam (see diagrams). In the photo, you can understand what a big blanket I got.
