Description
I've embarked on a noble quest... a blanket with my precious Umbreon
I haven't abandoned this quest. Although it has been a few years since I started *cough* over 4 *cough* I will eventually finish!
I recently added to the blanket, I probably won't add any progress shots until I have some more progress lol.Β
[Edit was made on March 17th 2015]
Progress shots:
Here's my pattern, drawn on graph paper (6 pieces taped together), which I will follow to create the awesomeness of Umbreon in blanket form.
***REVISED*** I've made the pattern easier to read for anyone who wishes to use it (please credit me if you do use it, I spent a lot of time on it)...by redoing it on the computer
From my estimates, Umbreon alone should be about 65in x 64in... and should take quite a long time. Check out my gallery for my progress!

I've been doing some spring cleaning and I found my progress on this blanket and was inspired to work on it some more thanks to your recent reminder that I made this lol. Hope your progress is going quicker than mine! I just spent nearly 2 hours doing 35 squares xD.Β

Wow! That's awesome! Well, right now I've kinda hit a bump in the road. I ran out of gray yarn and I haven't been able to run to to store to get any. I haven't really been paying attention to how long it takes me to make the squares. I just go until my hands get tired... Or I remember that I have homework.

Ahhh I gotcha, what brand of yarn are you using?Β
I actually hit the same road block when I first started, then I wound up buying 5 big skeins of gray and they were a sliiiiiiiiiightly different color because of the dye lot. There's a few yarn brands that don't do lots and always have consistent colors...but I was using a cheap red heart.
I TOTALLY get the homework thing. That's what happens to me lol. I just usually keep track of the time.

I'm using red heart. It was the closest (store-wise) and the cheapest. I'm a full-time college student with little money and no car.
I've also started another project with the leftover white yarn I have. I'm going to start making some dolls to sell Etsy so I can have some extra money. I'll post some pictures when I'm done.

Believe me, I understand that. I'm the same (full time college student with little money) except I have a truck, which requires pretty much any left over money I have to keep it legal, running, and gas in the tank.
(I still use red heart for personal projects- unless I can splurge a little or simply soft is on sale because they don't have dye lots)
That's a good idea ^_^ ~ good luck!

I have to rely on my sister (also a full-time college student) to drive me everywhere. But I help pay for gas and things (we share an apartment on campus). Although, most places I would need to get to are within walking distance. I just don't like to walk alone.
And thanks!

I just finished the head to this pattern. It took me a little less then a year and I used two inch granny squares. Β and its fits a queen size bed. Β Thank you for the pattern.

I'm going to start a blanket using your patternΒ (Which is awesome, by the way), if that's okay. My first blanket project ever! I'll let you know when I finish.

This is incredible >.<
Do you mind if my mother and I attempt this? She knows how to crochet and this would be a good opportunity to learn or end up making a quilt instead XD
Just curious if your estimates for the final size is 65in x 64in then how big are you making the squares? also that is a lot of squares I'm gonna have to count them to figure out how much of each colour I will need lol
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you ^.^
I don't mind at all. Once you finish (if you post it online) I'd love to see 
I was making the squares about 1in x 1in, but when I wound up measuring the progress so far, they wound up being a fraction of an inch short lol. So it's 66 squares across (I believe...). I actually counted up the colors a while back (when I first started this) on my original chart. I have no idea where it is right now, but if I come across it in the near future I'll let you know lol.

Will do!
1 x 1 o.O wow okies can you please tell me what stitches you were using for it? its hard to tell from the progress pics
π: 0 β©: 1
It's just basic US single crochet
I chained 6 to start, then did 1 sc in each stitch back (so 5 sc in that row)...then it's 5 rows total. Pretty basic ^^... Keeping it simple is the charm!
π: 0 β©: 1
cool, I'm not sure I counted it all correctly, but I counted over 2000 squares >.<
I made a counter for each colour (lost count a couple times)

Mind if I use this pattern for beads? Really beautiful btw

Go right ahead!

Thanks and you're welcome

I Think that I'm gonna give up by doing it from legos, I'll try beads instead.
π: 0 β©: 1
Why can't I delete my post? Anyway, I tried but nothing came out of it, it's hard to do with beads

this is amazing! i've been trying to find a pattern to knit and really feel like i'll be conquering something...i'm not sure exactly when, but i'm definitely going to attempt this! you are amazing for being able to pixelate umbreon so beautifully!
π: 0 β©: 2
gah! in my excitement i'm skipping pieces of my thoughts. ^_^"
*i'm not sure exactly when, but if it's okay with you, i'm definitely going to attempt this in a knit pattern!

Ok now I have to make something out of this, either just a square on a nerd blanket using Tunisian crochet or make an entire blanket, thanks for the chart
π: 0 β©: 0
OH THANK YOU! I found your comment on your square process! O.o I've always wanted to make a square sprite crochet blanket, but didn't know how to start the squares!
I think I'm gonna try to make something now, THANK YOU, I will credit.

^.^
I'm glad this has helped you! It's kind of a simple way to make them, I know some people use granny squares for theirs...but when I started making this, I was teaching myself how to crochet.

This is so perfect...i may use it to make an umbreon quilt...thank you so much!
π: 0 β©: 1
thank you! ^^ let me know how it turns out

I really love the idea of a crocheted blanket, I may like to start crocheting after browsing through your gallery. They're really awesome And you making a tutorial on it would be fabulicious.
Ohh and I'd like to inform you that I'll be using your pattern to cross-stitch umbreon using your pattern, and I'll definitely link/note it to you once its done. Just fyi.
π: 0 β©: 1
That would be fantastic! I love crocheting, it's so much fun ^.^ --knowing that I inspired someone else to start would make my day 
Oooh I'd definitely like to see it when you finish ^.^ thank you!
π: 0 β©: 1
Well if you could combine both would be great, but I guess being specific in making a blanket crochet tut would be better as crocheting in general would be TMI, methinks.
Yup, sure will. Gotta go stock up some strings first though
π: 0 β©: 1
I just wanted to make sure ^^...
I will probably wind up making a tutorial soon for it because soooooooo many people ask how I'm making it

Yerp derp, and I can't wait for it!

Thanks! It's very very very time consuming lol, but I think in the end it'll be worth it.
