6-Day Ridgy Didge Blanket
The wait is over for the 6-Day Ridgy Didge Blanket
This blanket is a variation on the classic 6-Day Kid Blanket (6DKB). This textured stripe was conceptualized by Diane Kagay and members of the 6-Day Blanket Group and was named by Sue McKinnon and Kati Poli.
This version of the 6-Day Ridgy Didge Blanket is written to give you options for creating a custom 6-Day Crochet blanket with the Ridgy Didge stripe.
