It’s no secret that blankets are one of my favorite types of projects to make. I especially love to give away handmade blankets as gifts. There is nothing quite like wrapping up in a warm blanket that feels like wrapping up in a hug, over and over again. The Shine Bright Blanket is a fast project that is great for a last minute blanket gift. It uses a large hook and yarn held double to help you whip up a blanket over just a few days! The Shine Bright Blanket is also a great option for donation, charity, or even for yourself! Spread love through handmade blankets and shine your light brightly in this world!
