Big Bang Theory crochet blanket (A.K.A Amy Farrah Fowler's blanket)

I am not sure if you are, but I am a large fan of the Big Bang theory. I also love a lot of their decor, in particular Amy's crochet granny square blanket that sits on her lounge.

I have a 2 seater lounge, that I believe one would look perfect on! My lounge is a bit old as it was purchased when we first moved into this house, it was purchased from a second hand store, so it could definitely do with a bit of a revamp! (I also may or may not have a slight granny square obsession.)

I have been Googling and watching the episodes where the blanket is shown, quite a few times. I can really seem to be able to see a consistent pattern for the colour placement, it seems to be more eclectic, with blocks of pattern. I was going to keep mine a little bit more random, so it is more of a Big Bang theory "inspired" blanket.

I included this image for reference and also because Sheldon looks so toasty wrapped up in it.

I have chosen to use the Stylecraft DK again, as it is cheapish and has a large colour range. I also do not have a yarn stash that I can bust, yet...

I have ordered my colours, so I just need to await for them to arrive. I have put together a colour collage below.

I can not wait to complete it and share the results!
