The Boston Blanket is one of those blankets that can be for anybody and everybody! It has a lovely texture, and can be completely customizable in size and color choices!

This crochet pattern uses basic crochet stitches to create an amazing texture without holes or spaces. It is a great project for mindless crochet, to work on in the car or on the couch while watching your favorite show! 

This blanket project is beginner friendly since just the basic stitches are used. You’ll just need some worsted-weight yarn in as many colors as you prefer!

    I do love your patterns, however I have no choice but to unsub. Its not “free on the blog” when we are forced to sign up to yet another account/app. That makes it false advertising. I do wish you wish well and that you don’t loose too many subscribers.

    1. I’m sorry you feel that way. The reason I ask for an email address is because it’s the only way I can sustainably continue offering my patterns for free on my website. Without this option, all of my designs would only be available as paid, premium patterns. The pattern itself is still free, and this small exchange helps me keep creating and sharing more free designs with the community.
