Design
The Ava Blanket Pattern is such a great go to pattern to make and it’s just so warm ans squishy! Using two strands of DK yarn held together to make it thicker you will be able to whip this timeless bobble blanket pattern up in no time. The inspiration behind the Ava Blanket Pattern is that I wanted to design a blanket which was super easy, colorful and a little bit of texture to it and I think the Ava Blanket Pattern has just that. This baby blanket is a 8 row repeat with very simple stitches which are mainly dc so it would be easy enough for beginner crocheters but enjoyable for any crocheter to quickly make up.
