Border Patterned Blanket Reviewed by Angela on 2008-04-03 *****
I've never crocheted before, and this was my first blanket. It was so easy. After I made one for my son, the other son wanted one also. Now my husband wants one for his 50th b-day. It was fun making and the colors go together so well. Thank you for the free pattern. Love it.
