Afghans and Blankets
"This blue color reminded me so much of the rich tropical ocean, that it inspired me to do an open crochet variation of "shells" throw. And I am in LOVE with how it came out! Simplistic in design this throw blanket will work up very fast for you. And the breathability from the spaces make it just the right amount of cozy without being smothered in wool. Not that being smothered in wool is a bad thing :-) "
