This name is a little on the nose. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that keep you grounded, keep you moving and enjoying life. This blanket is so fast, so easy, and so beautiful that it is SO easy to enjoy.
I made the first sample in just one day and every member of the family fell in love with it. The little things: like kids who love the things you make, having just enough yarn to complete a project, sitting in front of a cozy fire with a fresh crochet project. All those little things just make each day worth it.
I really think that you’ll love making this blanket with this FREE pattern. And if you do, I would love for you to share it on social media to spread the love of the little things. Please use #thelittlethingsblanket on Instagram and Facebook when you make your own.
