I designed this blanket as a tribute to all you talented makers (yes, I’m talking to you!).

I wanted to give you a way to be able to stand up and proudly say “I MADE THIS”!

I’m so passionate about encouraging the tribe of generous gifted, inspirational creators out there to celebrate themselves!  As makers, we rarely give ourselves credit for what we do. With this statement blanket I wanted to enable you wonderful people to create a permanent reminder for you and those around you of your talent and skill!  So give yourself a big pat on the back and be proud of the work you put into this and all of your creations!

You can download the pattern from: Ravelry, Craftsy, Etsy, Love Crochet

Skill Level & Special Stitches

Beginner / Improver – The blanket is made from a combination of hdc and bobble stitches so is a great project for a beginner with some experience.  The tricky bit is keeping count to ensure the bobbles are placed correctly!

A description of the Foundation Half Double Crochet is given in the pattern along with a modification for those who prefer to work directly into a foundation chain has the beginning of a project instead.

The PDF Pattern includes written instructions and a pattern chart
