Crocheting a Blanket

Stripes are awesome!  

Blankets can be as basic as one color and single crocheted.  However, most of the crocheted blankets our organization recieves, contain stripes.  

If you need yarn, please E-mail marchoftheblanketeers@yahoo.com and state in the subject "Need 'x' amount of yarn skeins" Let x be, the amount of Large skeins you need for one blanket.  

 

Please do not make blankets completely dark.  Do not use wool at all.  Acrylic yarns, as well as cotton and nylon are acceptable.
