Inspiration : Crochet afghans with embroidery patterns

When I start or finish a project, I send photos to my sister and sister-in-law. I also share some of my to do list which is getting longer and longer each day. After me sharing everyday with every step of my projects, my sister-in-law also started feeling like crafty. She wanted to make some blankets. What she needed was an easy but cute pattern. I have seen loads of amazing patterns while I was searching for her but I felt in love with the idea of using embroidery patterns in crochet afghans. It is great for using leftover yarns but also worth buying new set of yarns to make it :) That is on my to do list but I don`t know when I can make it. I want to make it as bed spreads for the Little M and Little N.

Here are some photos that may inspire you and also remind myself of my next project.

It is a great way of turning our favorite embroidery pattern into an afghan that we can snuggle in cold and enjoy it :)

Lienemien - Sleeping Dolls Pattern

When I added sleeping dolls photo to my facebook page and shared it, I was so surprised and happy to get a lot of interest in them.. It has been one of my favorite patterns. It is easy and quick to make. I also dont like sewing arms, legs and head in amigurumi and this pattern is just my type, it is made in one piece. Thank you very much to Sil`s corner for this lovely, cute dolls. Many people asked for the pattern, I shared the original link from Sil`s corner but unfortunately the pattern is not in English.
