Aspen Blanket Crochet Blanket

April 02, 2019

I have a huge love for crochet blankets, especially those with gorgeous texture and ones that either are a traditional chevron or have the illusion of a chevron. Meet the Aspen Blanket, it is a unique blanket that has a beautiful raised chevron stitch. Take the Aspen Blanket with it's unique texture and add at least two colors and you will have a gorgeous stripped blanket that you will instantly fall in love with as a baby blanket or a custom throw for your couch or bed.
