Comfy Heritage Quilt Crochet Blanket

Embrace all the comforts of your home with the Comfy Heritage Quilt Crochet Blanket. You may be thinking that crochet and quilting are usually separate, but in this blanket you get the best of both worlds. We love the warm look of this crochet quilt, it makes us want to hibernate! This pattern from the designers at Lion Brand is easy and it will show you how to crochet a quilt. A crochet blanket like this one will last generations in your family because of its durability and softness. You'll never want to give it up, trust us.

NotesNotes:
1. Afghan is made from 7 Strips. Each Strip is worked by following a Stripe Sequence.
2. A border is worked around the outside edge of the completed Afghan.
3. To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops to complete st. Fasten off old color.
4. We used almost every bit of yarn in this project! Leave fairly short yarn tails and, if necessary, use scrap yarn to sew the strips together.
