Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a new free pattern from me! My Leaps & Bounds Crochet Afghan is fun, warm and sturdy!
This blanket is a wonderful option if you want a blanket with no holes or openings. The stitches are tight together, so it's very warm to snuggle!
It would look absolutely stunning in any color(s)!
