I can't wait to get started on this! My niece just had a baby girl a week ago and the fox was the theme of her baby shower. We both crochet. I was looking for a regular sized afghan to make that my great-niece could keep forever. I showed my niece a few and we finally decided on one and the colors she wanted. About 10 minutes later I saw this and she was over the moon for it. So this will be her blanket from her great aunt that she can "keep forever" as her mom put it, lol! My mother who is 83 yrs young still has the very 1st afghan I made on my own back in 1981! Of all the ones I made over the years, hers is the only one that is still around! There is a PJ pillow that matches this out there also! Thanks for sharing this pattern!!
Handmade blankets are always so special! You gave me so many warm fuzzies hearing about your mom still having your first ever handmade afghan! I'm so happy you are able to share something so special with your great-niece 🙂
I don't know what the "magic ring" is, and overtime I click on it I only get advertisements – very frustrating –
A "magic ring" is also known as a "magic circle" in crochet. If you aren't familiar, there are many YouTube tutorials that show you how! I apologize for the frustration of advertisements. To keep this a free website where I provide free crochet patterns, I compensate with third-party ads. If you would like, there is an ad-free printable available to purchase – linked at the very top of this post.
