If you’d like to make a fun and colorful blanket, but you’re not too strong on crochet (or you lack the time) this is a great solution. Most of the blanket is made with a colorful, washable fleece, and only the border is crocheted. I added five rows of border, which added 5” to each side, but you can only add one row to join the fleece and be done! Whatever works for you, the pets will appreciate.
