Six months. More than 2,000 women. One record-breaking crochet blanket.

The all-female team, based in India but with participants from 14 countries, came together to break the Guinness World Record for the largest crochet blanket.

They produced an 11,148-square-metre bedspread — about the size of one-and-a-half football fields.

Chennai-based project initiator Subashri Natarajan said the blankets had since been donated to the needy.

"Our ultimate goal of our mission to donate to NGOs has been fulfilled with the help of our Tamilnadu police department," she said in a Facebook post.

"We have donated all our 8,034 blankets to needy people."

The group, called Mother India's Crochet Queens, was officially awarded the title on Sunday.

They beat the previous record of a 3,377-square-metre blanket held by a South African group.
