Customer project finished and a free pattern

Customer project finished, originally uploaded by zichhome516.

I love seeing what my customers make with the yarns that they buy at Stitch DC. Last year, I had a customer walk in and want to learn to crochet. I did a class with her and she went off to practice what she learned. She came back a few weeks later with the start of a blanket. Making 12" squares she wanted to make a baby blanket.



She loved the yarn and the project so much, the blanket grew and then she decided to keep if for her herself. She proudly showed if off this weekend. And then she picked out yarn for the baby blanket she was supposed to make.


The pattern is easy.

Suggested yarn: super bulky (blue sky bulky; cascade magnum, classic elite twinkle)
Hook: p hook

28 squares.
