The Cutest Christmas Blanket

I am a HUGE fan of the crafting website RepeatCrafterMe.  HUGE.  She writes the cutest crochet patterns, does other crafty things and crock pots.  I basically love every post, but especially her crochet posts. 

She is doing the neatest little Christmas blanket crochet a long, and if you are interested, it's not too late to join in!  She's only released 4 of the 9 patterns so far.  This is the square she released today.  Click on the picture to go to the post about this project. 

Seriously, how CUTE is that???
This is done in Corner to Corner stitch (C2C), which is super easy to do.  However, as the artist points out at her site, you could use this with a single or half double crochet stitch, your squares will just be much smaller.  This is called "graphganning".  Making an afghan with a picture graph.  In this case, she has designed 9 of these blocks, each with a different picture on it.  Each block is 25 blocks square.  Once all 9 blocks are done, you sew them together and have a unique, fun Christmas blanket.  Plus, added bonus, these C2C blankets are super warm.  :) 

I'm excited to get caught up on the blocks!   

Click that link and you will go to the most recent post, but it will have links to all the previous graphs she's released so far.  

She has released a Christmas tree, a Santa and a snowman.  Now, the sleigh.  These are seriously so cute.  If you are into crochet, this is a fun project.
