Introducing the Blink Once Blanket Shawl, perfect for an Autumn Day! This shawl features a modular construction with various gorgeous colour combinations using Color Theory Yarn. Easy crochet stitches make crocheting this shawl a breeze!
Wow, hi guys!! It’s been a hot minute since I last released a free crochet pattern on the CoCo Crochet Lee Blog and I am so excited to see you here! It’s kind of a funny story, if you have been following me for any time you will know that I have had my head down for the past year and change working on some amazing crochet book titles with many more to come! I have released five crochet books since 2020, so it’s been a ton of work! You can find all of my crochet books on my (I’m so delighted to say this!) Amazon Authors Page at >> https://www.amazon.com/stores/Lee-Sartori/author . It has been so long since I released a free pattern and my friend from Lion Brand Yarn digitally tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to release some kits with them essentially breaking me from my book-induced tunnel vision and blinking stepping into the sun. I missed you guys!!
But I digress! You are here for the brand new free crochet pattern that I just released with Lion Brand Yarn! The Blink Once Blanket Shawl!!
