Free Pattern: Wedding Blanket Crochet Along

This spring I had an amazing opportunity to be part of a really special present. I am part of Red Heart Yarns Joy Creators and our fabulous leader recently got married. We were each asked to design a 12″ square in her wedding colors, Navy, Tan and Cream. Here is my block:

 

I actually made several different blocks before creating this one. I wanted something extra special. I also felt some intimidation being part of a blanket, surrounded by amazing designers. I think it fits in great! Here is the finished blanket:

 

She LOVED it! I will be able to share a video soon of her opening it. Wait til you see her reaction. It is wonderful and I am so glad they did a video.

Thank you to Red Heart Yarns for supplying the yarn for this project. I really enjoy Chic Sheep yarn! I hope you will give it a try.

 

Let’s Make The Blanket!

You can make the blanket too! Each of the block patterns will be available for free from each of the designers. You can get the links to each pattern on the MAIN CROCHET ALONG page, released each Friday and Monday (starting with mine, YAY!).

 

YOUR Blanket

What colors will you use and who will you make it for? Whether you make the full blanket or some throw pillows, I would LOVE to see your creations. Please add #snappytots to your social media posts when sharing pix of your blocks so we can follow along with everyone. 

You can also share your pix, color choices or ask questions in my facebook group, Totally Snappy.
