Chic Sheep Day Dream Blanket-FREE Crochet Chic Sheep Blanket
I introduce to you the Chic Sheep Day Dream Blanket-FREE Crochet Chic Sheep Blanket using Chic Sheep by Marly Bird™. After receiving so much love for the Chic Sheep Dream Blanket I knew that I needed to design something for the crochet lovers. Because the first Chic Sheep Blanket used all 24 colors of the Chic Sheep line I had my work cut out for me to make the perfect counter part.

Having my own yarn line has always been my dream. When Red Heart gave me the opportunity for that dream to come true I was elated. Now that I have my dream I wanted to make your crochet dreams come true with this beautiful corner-2-corner heirloom blanket. Choose the color place of your choice, or use the pattern I used, and play around with all 24 colors of Chic Sheep by Marly Bird™.
