The Textured Comfort was designed as part of Underground Crafter’s Charity Spotlight series. This micro blanket includes four different textured stitch patterns and is designed to meet the donation requirements of Comfort & Cuddle, a non-profit organization that distributes handmade, small comfort blankets to children in need.
