Summer Cotton Throw Blanket Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Summer Cotton Throw Blanket 
Crochet Pattern 
By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs


The Summer Cotton Throw Blanket is soft light 
weight blanket perfect for the summer. It is designed 
for the warm weather, when it gets a little breezy and 
light wrap blanket is needed. Great for summer
 evenings at the pool, lake, or park.

It's a nice blanket to keep in care for wrapping around
 you when you have been in sun too long and those
 sunburn chills. It's so soft and comfy.


I used Premier Cotton Sprouts Worsted Multi in the
 Coral Reef Color, And Cotton Sprouts Worsted
 in the Aqua Color. These 2 colors compliment each 
other beautifully. I think it give is a beach 
vacation feel. The Yarn 100% cotton, 
Medium (4) Weight yarn.
Premier Yarn has many colors that will work 
nicely together.
My Premier Yarn LINK 
 Take A Look at all The wonderful colors.


This Summer Cotton Throw Blanket can be stitched up
 in any colors of your choosing, stripe it up as much as you
 want. Use a Variegated or Ombre yarn. Or even use up scrap
 yarn from your yarn stash and a Scrap happy Blanket.
Just Have Fun!
