Baby JTK Blanket
Crocheting has been a wonderful creative expression in my life and one that I am so excited to continue developing in. My experience in this fiber art started with only creating ridiculously long chains, but now I'm finding a lot of joy in making blankets. Adult-sized blankets are so much fun to do, but they take up a lot of time so I've found that baby blankets are kind of my sweet spot. I love all the different patterns for them, and how useful they are. They make wonderful gifts as well!
This was the first baby blanket gift that I gave out and I'm officially hooked. (Haha, there's a pun in there that's totally intended!)

The colors match one of my pups!

One of my favorite features of this blanket is that there aren't hundreds of ends to tuck in. With the way that this pattern switches colors, you're actually pulling the opposite color up each level! This keeps everything nice and tidy and a breeze to finish off.
