The all-woman team made a blanket the size of a soccer-pitch
It took over two thousand women, six months and lots of yarn to break the Guinness World Record for largest crochet blanket on Sunday 31st January in the city of Chennai, India.
The efforts of the all-female group of crocheting enthusiasts— known as Mother’s India’s Crochet Queens— payed off on Jan. 31, when they broke South Africa’s record. Their finished product was a 120 thousand square-foot blanket, around the size of a soccer pitch.
Participants from Chennai, many states within India and also 13 other countries contributed to the making of the one crochet blanket.
The blanket was disassembled and sections donated to needy Indian families.
