The Summer Blanket CAL will start February 6th and run for a total of 9 weeks. This allows you to crochet this heirloom blanket in reasonable chunks without getting overwhelmed.

Each week, you will be crocheting granny squares and appliques. Each part will include both written pattern and video tutorials. You will also have the option to purchase the entire written pattern as a condensed download once the crochet along begins on February 6th.
