Over 2,000 women in Chennai set a Guinness World Record when they crocheted the world’s largest blanket. The massive 11,148.5 square meters (120,000.98 square feet) blanket took six months to be crafted, and was completed on January 31.
The project started in August last year, inspired by the previous record set by South Africa in April 2015, where a 3,377 square meter blanket was crocheted.The all-women team based in India and known as Mother India’s Crochet Queens, also saw participants from 14 other nations. They came together not only to break the world record but also further a noble cause. Subashri Natarajan, a Chennai-based project coordinator, said that the blankets have since then been given to the needy.
