Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on February 25th, 2013 by Rachel Choi – 1 Comment
There’s a new pattern in the Crochet Spot Store! Here’s a cute blanket for a girl’s room! The blanket is constructed with solid squares and flower squares. The flowers are crocheted in layers directly onto the square, so that you don’t have to sew each one on. Both squares are worked in the round and work up fairly quickly. The front of the blanket is textured with the 3D flowers, and the back of the blanket is flat for comfort. Feel free to crochet this blanket to be any size you desire by adding more and more squares.
