Stay Wild Moon Child Throw Blanket

"This unique crochet throw blanket has a striking textured design with three main stitch patterns. I made this beautifully textured crochet blanket throw for my daughter when she moved out of home to go to University this year. I wanted it to provide comfort and as a reminder my love for her, on her adventure away from home. “Stay wild moon child” is a phrase I say to her reminding her to be true to herself. There are video tutorials for each of the main three stitches."
