This beautiful Cardinal Forest blanket is perfect for the Holidays, Christmas gifts, or to snuggle under on cool fall & winter evenings. It uses the overly mosaic crochet method and features a cheeky cardinal on some pine branches with 3D berries done in the bobble stitch!

The blanket in the image is 47”x60” & was created using Mary Maxim Starlette yarn, which is medium #4 weight, and comes in 3.5oz/180yds skeins, along with a 5.5 mm hook. The following colors & amounts were used:

Cottonwood (Cream) = 9 skeins
Deep Green = 1 skein
Brown Heather = 5 skeins
Cardinal Red = 5 skeins
Black = 1 skein

You can use any yarn you like, along with the recommended hook size for that yarn. Be sure that all your yarn colors are the same thickness of yarn (yarn weight)

This pattern is also available in a Mary Maxim kit, that includes a printed version of the pattern & all the yarn needed to complete the project! https://www.marymaxim.com/collections/crochet-afghans/pro...
