Free Christmas Crochet Blanket CAL – elF 2020 Square
This is my second release and design for this crochet along. I side-tracked from my usual crass subversive crochet loving self to do something a bit classier and more elegant. I had been wanting to play with the Catherine Wheel stitch and this seemed like the perfect opportunity!
I hope you enjoy the free christmas crochet square!
