Hello and welcome to this ever so exciting series, sponsored by our friends at Marriner Yarns. Normally we regularly feature a crochet-along, but we thought it was high time we combined knitting and crochet in the ultimate creation: The Friendship Blanket Project! Each part in this four-part series will feature six crochet squares and six knitted squares, and we recommend joining forces with a pal. Perhaps one of you knits and the other crochets, or you may wish to mix and match because you’re a dab hand at both! Combine your creativity to make a beautifully vibrant blanket that you can gift to a loved one or donate to charity. It’s everything great about Let’s Get Crafting magazine, rolled into one exceptionally lovely project. We hope you enjoy it.
