Back Story
I started this gorgeous blanket over a year ago, and it was abandoned in my whip pile. It goes so perfectly with my Holiday decor I wanted to finish it to display with my new Christmas Tree Ornaments. If you’re new to my page, you’ll want to check out my blog for my free ornament patterns. Every day from Dec 1st through to the 25th, a new ornament will be released on my blog for free with a YouTube tutorial. The Chunky Buffalo Plaid Crochet Throw goes perfectly with this collection.
The Chunky Buffalo Plaid Crochet Throw will keep you cozy through the entire Winter Season. It’s the perfect throw blanket for your couch or favourite chair. The crochet blanket is made in Super Bulky yarn, so it’s heavy and thick. It’s perfect for cuddling up under on movie night, reading a book or just scrolling on your phone.
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is time for home.”
– Edith Sitwell
