If you ask me there is nothing better than curling up in blanket on a cold winter day. Over Christmas my family headed to West Virginia to stay in a cabin for a few days. It was wonderful to be surrounded with falling snow and a warm fire.
However, we don't have a fire place at our house, so I have to make do with lots of blankets. I created this one for a friend, and had a lot of fun playing with changing colors, stitches, and the weight of the yarn. I used double crochet, shell stitch, and bubble stitch to create the piece. In case you want to try your hand at crocheting a blanket this year, I gathered some inspiration for you below, some come complete with directions.
