Sample Sale from My Book, Crochet Modular Blankets

Published by

Hey there! Today I put together a sample sale for all 18 of the blankets from my latest book, Crochet Modular Blankets, which is on sale right now on Amazon!

It was a wild year creating all of these patterns and making all of the blankets, but now it’s time to let them go. Below you will find all 18 pieces and a button to buy them. I have just split them into “Small” “Medium” or “Large” and that’s how I’ve priced them, just to keep it simple.

Thank you!
