Christmas Scandinavian Heart Crochet Blanket

"I always associated dark, cozy winter nights with simple Scandinavian decor. This is a Scandinavian style blanket with stars, baubles, granny stitch, ribbed stitches and... Bobble hearts in the corners. I just wanted something that could put me in a Christmas mood when the time comes... Something I could whip out at a moment's notice. Using worsted weight yarn I combine two bold red and white colors for maximum effect to instantly create a Christmas atmosphere. This free pattern includes a YouTube video tutorial as well. Matching Scandinavian style crochet baubles are available as a separate pattern."
