Strawberry Lemon Peel Baby Blanket

Strawberry Lemonade. Sigh. Just the sound of those words takes me to a summer day on my front porch. And then this: a deliciously coral in a favorite stitch? Well, I couldn't help myself. My friend got me totally hooked on the Red Heart Ombre line. It is just beautiful. I love the transitions from light to dark and back again. And a baby afghan is the perfect show off. Just 2 skeins of yarn for the afghan and a coordinating solid for the border and you are off on a blissful crochet adventure. Your favorite chair. Feet up. Great beverage by your side. And settle for a nice, long spell.

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.
