The crochet summer themed blanket will be crocheted together in a crochet along! Find all the information down below.
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.
Below you will find the list of materials as well as the sign-up! This will ensure you get each part of the pattern sent to your email.
