Scrap Happy Veterans Blanket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Scrap Happy 

Veterans Blanket Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

It is Scrap Happy Monday 

and I am so happy with how this blanket stitched up.

I went through all my yarn stash and put together 

 red, white and blue yarns, solids, variegated, and striped

 colorways. I rolled them up all together and just had fun putting them together. The colors are in no particular order, how ever they randomly unrolled, is how I stitched up

 the blanket.

I designed this for American Veterans, but of course you 

can use any colors of your choosing. We use one strand

 of medium (4) weight acrylic yarn for the whole Blanket.

You do not have to use acrylic yarn, just make sure you

 use one fiber for the entire blanket. We want the 

blanket to be able to be put in the washer and dryer.

So it is easy to care for.

I designed the Blanket to be a large lap blanket that

 measures about 32 X 42 inches. I included the sizing

 and multiples in the pattern so you can adjust the 

width and length as needed. It is basically a 2 row repeat,

 once get started, and really easy to stitch up.
