70 Sunday Crochet Baby Blanket by Donna Higgins
A baby blanket with serious '70s energy.
70 Sunday is a traditional crochet motif blanket designed by Donna Higgins for Big Bad Wool, worked in a color mix straight out of the '70s. Each block is a 6" square, and a color chart shows you exactly where every shade goes so yours matches the photo.
It finishes at roughly 26" x 34" before blocking, a great size for a stroller, crib, or tummy time on the floor. Basic crochet is all you need. Read through the abbreviations before you start and you'll be off and running.
Made to be used, gently washed, and loved to pieces. Finish it with a 'wear it out' sewn-in tag, and when you're gifting, add a 'wear it out' hang tag with sweet sentiments and care instructions.
Groovy, baby. And built to be worn out.
