Because this is made with the super bulky yarn and a large hook, it works up quickly. I realize that many of us are quite busy making gifts for loved ones this time of year and it can be hard to fit in an extra project. ![]() Wouldn’t these colors make a lovely blanket too? It should make a squishy bed for an animal in a local animal shelter. In fact, I plan to make the pom-pom free version of this blanket with several colors from partial skeins that I have from past projects. I’ve posted a picture of some other gorgeous options below. However, there are some REALLY fun and vibrant colors in the Hometown USA yarn family. Grey is such a popular color right now for children and babies, so this would make a great gender neutral blanket. There are so many lovely, bright colors to choose from, but I went with white with grey poms which could go for either a boy or girl. The blanket pattern which I’ve shared below uses soft, washable, super bulky, Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn. Ever since becoming a mama, my heart breaks for families with ill children. ![]() Not only did I wish to make a blanket that the child would love to cuddle and squeeze, but one that the parents might love as well. These blankets offer comfort, warmth and security to these precious children.īecause this is my first time making something for charity, I really wanted it to be special. After learning about Project Linus when I was putting together my blanket sizing guide earlier this year, I knew I’d love to find the time to make and donate something to their cause. They take blankets from those of us who would like to make them ( they refer to us blanket makers as “blanketeers”) and give them to children who are seriously ill, traumatized or are in need of a comforting handmade blanket. This is the first item that I’ve ever crocheted for charity, and I’m excited to be joining so many fellow readers who have been doing this sort of thing for years. Read on for more details on this amazing organization! ![]() I’m so thrilled to be working on the Lion Brand Yarn Heroes charity campaign and have created this pattern (which uses the squishy “wattle stitch” )and project for Project Linus. It is going to end up in the hands of a child and a family that is going through very hard times. Out of the many projects that I’ve shared on this blog, this blanket pattern has to be one of the most special.
