Modern Double Crochet V-stitch Chunky Blanket
"This modern double crochet v-stitch chunky blanket is a wedding gift. I have had this Caron One Pound yarn in my stash for a while now. Thought it was time to get something made with it. I have had this Caron One Pound yarn in my yarn stash it seems like forever, and I’ve been wanting to use it. However, I could never quite come up with the right idea. When I thought about using this for a wedding gift handmade blanket, all of the boxes ticked in my head and I knew what I wanted to do. Using two strands of yarn makes this a fun and chunky blanket. It also makes for a very warm blanket. I will miss having this cover me up while crocheting when it is below zero here this week. Brrrr."
