Once again, Crista has gone out of her way to help early crocheters to learn how to make this AWESOME blanket! I am a seasoned crocheter (50 years) and I can figure out how to make this blanket easily, in a few rows! However, Crista did a BANG-UP job in explaining every row for those just starting! In the world of digital, you can easily take this pattern on your tablet and before you know it, you will have a beautiful gift for a loved one! I highly recommend this pattern to you!! Hugs to you Crista!!
