One of the crochet designers I follow is Faye from Little Dove Crochet, last October she posted in her blog about making four baby blankets all from the same colour combination, I really liked that idea. I have so much stash yarn for baby blankets I thought I’d give it a go. So I pulled my own colour combination together and managed five blankets! I added in an extra colour in the last couple blankets because I ran out of the green. All of these will be donated to Craft for YEG who you can find on Facebook. They are a local Edmonton, AB group who collect donations of many different items for a variety of local charities.
