I’m not a fan of sewing and weaving in ends and usually avoid motif patterns at all costs, but when my expecting daughter fell in love with this blanket and wanted it for my grandson I couldn’t grab my hooks and yarn fast enough. I worked in all the ends as I stitched and was over joyed when I found out the pieces where all crocheted, not sewn together. Thank you so much for the wonderful pattern Sara Leighton :) My daughter and I absolutely Love this blanket!!!
