The Fruit Salad Blanket CAL begins tomorrow, and I can’t wait to share the first two squares with you! We will be making LOTS of squares. I apologize for that, but we will put them together in a fun crochet stitch, so there won’t be lots of sewing to do.
I had hoped to do the entire blanket without the need for applique, but that’s not going to happen. At least half of the squares will not involve extra sewing, unfortunately some will. I guess not all fruit is round!
I promised you multiple sizes, so this post is all about that. I have four different options, but should you probably pick which one you plan on doing.
The regular size for the blanket is 36″ x 48″ (48 – 6″ squares). The large is 48″ x 72″ (96 – 6″ squares)
