How to Crochet a Valentine's Blanket for Dolls - Happy Hearts Afghan

I was cleaning out my closet one day and noticed all the stray balls of yarn bouncing around on the floor. I decided to package them up into gallon Ziploc bags by color family and promised myself one day I would use them. Typically I like to make big projects that take a lot of yarn to complete. But, I can't waste anything either. So after each project, I stuff the leftover yarn ball into one of the bags.



Fast forward to this past week when I stumbled across the heaping bags and decided I had to come up with a project to use up some of that yarn. Well, being February is right around the corner I Googled to find a Valentine crochet pattern. I came across a free pattern on Red Heart Yarn that was just the ticket.



This adorable little blanket was modified just a little to fit the patchwork quilt design I was thinking of. It also features a lovely lace border to make it the perfect Valentine's gift for that someone or somedoll special. Check out my video to see how you can make one!







The link to the written pattern is here: http://www.redheart.com/files/patterns/pdf/WR1659.pdf.



Please let me know if you have any questions and if you were able to make this item, please send me a picture. I love seeing the various projects that you all create!



Happy Valentine's Day!
