Linen Square Temperature Blanket
Learn how to crochet the linen stitch and use it to create your new temperature afghan! The linen stitch, or moss stitch, creates a woven look which is just beautiful for all the color changes involved in temperature blankets. In this simple design, you'll create twelve squares - one for each month - and seam them all together at the end of the year to create a joyful, colorful afghan. This is a lovely idea to commemorate a special year. It's a fun twist on the traditional striped temperature afghan, and you'll love creating this project!
