I am so happy (but also sad?) to be bringing you the final square in our Winter Blanket CAL. We are one step closer to finishing up this amazing CAL and having a luxurious blanket to get cozy under. I have been drowning in a sea of crochet blanket squares and it has been so worth it. I can’t wait for you all to see the final piece!

What’s next?
Up next we have the final installment of this CAL – blocking and seaming! We’ll take each square so far, block it out and then seam it together. I’ll show you how I block my squares and the tools I used. You can also find my favorite blocking board here.
I can’t wait to show you all the finished blanket! This has been such a fun experience and this blanket pattern is my favorite to date that I’ve designed. It’s a more modern take on a vintage square design and a piece I hope to keep in my family for a long time.
