For some reason this beautiful Country Blue blanket yarn always appears more grey in photos than the actual blue color in person. 

 I used the same pattern as the very first blanket I crocheted.  It turns out to be a nice chunky, holy blanket to snuggle up with.

Total time = 8hrs and 20 minutes

Measurements 48” x 52” (4 skeins of yarn total)

·         11.5 mm crochet hook or P hook

·         4 Skeins of Bernat Blanket Yarn – Country Blue

Note: each row took about 8 minutes to complete

Pattern:

When you run out of the first ball of yarn, tie the end of the 2nd ball together and continue crocheting… trim any ends that are sticking out.
