Christmas in July

Celebrating Poinsettias  
This blanket is a beautiful twist on a vintage Christmas look. The bright green beside the traditional red draws in the eye. It is easy to make, and comes together quickly.

The blanket is 6 squares x 8 squares. The square is #66 from Margaret Hubert's book "The Granny Square Book," and although the square looks complicated, it is considered to be intermediate level.

I found the book on Amazon. It is a good book for anyone who crochets, beginner or experienced. I use this book for most of my projects.

This is the perfect blanket for Christmas, but if you crochet slowly, start now so it is ready in time for the holidays!
