Sprite Stitch Board!

Inspired by the Megaman and Chocobo rugs that Bamiyan made, I decided to make a crochet blanket of Yoshi.
Here's what it's going to look like:

It consists out of 864 crocheted squares that are 2 by 2 inches, which are all sewn together. I've been working on it for a couple of weeks now. Since I've only learned how to crochet a short time ago so it's going quite slow. However, there is definitely progress, as you can see. I've put a pen in the picture for scale.
So far it's been fun, but I still have a long way to go. So I'm going to post WIP's here to keep me motivated

Niiice !!! =D
Keep up the good work!


I have a question.. What yarn do you use and where do you get it?

Thank you

I use regular knitting/crochet yarn for size 4 knitting needles/crochet hooks. Though I'm actually using a size 7 hook to keep it nice and light/supple.
It's the cheap stuff, so not wool but acrylic. I buy it at Wibra and Zeeman, I think they might have stores in Belgium too?

No way! Zeeman or Wibra! I come there often and I've never seen them. Better have a closer look next time

Thanks for the info

That is the best possible compliment ever, when someone says you inspired them Thank you so much!!!

And this looks absolutely amazing!!! I know you said you're working slow, but for only a couple weeks work, seems like you got pretty far to me I'm still not done with my Mega Man rug, and that's only with 1 inch squares xD lol.

Great job, and can't wait to see more!

Wow looks awesome so far!

Which crochet stitch are you using to make up the squares?

Must. Learn. To. Crochet.
I am in awe of you guys. =]

Thanks

I am making good progress, but I'm working on it a lot because I'm a student and have summer holidays now just hope I can finish before classes start again..

I'm using what I think is called double crochet in English. I tried single and triple as well, but double has the best feel for a blanket in my opinion.

Ahh, thanks. I want to make a couple of blankets for my daughter and I wondered what stitch would be best - I'll try the doubles

A new WIP picture! I finished his head
I haven't found a good orange color yet, so there are some holes in him..
Right now I'm forcing myself to finish the upper left corner with all the blue before I continue with Yoshi himself, because I don't want to be stuck making 400 blue squares when Yoshi's finished..
