"Who loves the summer months? I'm raising my hands. It's my favorite season. I go through so much sunscreen because I just can't keep away from those beautiful sun rays. But blankets aren't often a crochet item thought about during the summer months. However, the Garden Fence Free Crochet Blanket uses the perfect yarn for a summer evening or baby blanket. Its size is just right for throwing on the grass for a fun summer picnic. "

Granny Square Picnic Blanket
The Granny Square Kid's picnic blanket is just the pattern to create a cute, snuggly blanket that you can use so many ways. Toss it over the back of an armchair for decorative purposes, bring it out for a picnic, or, like the name says - give it to your kids. You make this pattern by working in squares, which makes it a fun project to take with you on the go. You don't have to carry the whole blanket with you, but can carry it in squares until you're ready to work all the squares together into the finished project.

Stitch Away Stress Lemon Blanket Square
Warm Up America! is a charity which accepts blanket squares or "sections" that volunteers seam together into blankets. Crochet this lemon section to donate! Each April, the Craft Yarn Council in conjunction with Warm Up America! invites you to Stitch Away Stress. Crochet, as you know, is such a wonderfully soothing activity. Lemons have become the emblem for this promotion because the first pattern designed for Stitch Away Stress was a cute lemon stress ball! This cheery motif is wonderful for lemon lovers to work up year-round. Section together your own beautiful lemon afghan, or donate these sections to a wonderful cause.

Little Ripple Baby Blanket Crochet Pattern
"Blankets are a necessary part of life. So, you might as well have one you like. The little ripple crochet baby blanket is sweet and simple. It would be a great present for a newborn. Baby blankets are often the first object a baby touches. They get swaddled up in one right after they're born. For this reason, I always recommend making easy crochet baby blankets for hospitals to keep on hand. Crochet baby blanket patterns come in so many different designs and styles. They usually come in a standard baby blanket size and similar color palettes. The baby blanket dimensions could easily be changed to suit your needs."
