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.

Chic Sheep by Marly Bird™

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™.

Chic Sheep Yarn by Marly Bird

Chic Sheep by Marly Bird™ is 100% Merino Wool. This means that it is machine washable and dryer safe! Not only is it easy to maintain but it is an absolute dream to use in accessories and garments. Having this yearn snuggled up against your skin feels so good. Using this yarn to make a blanket was a no brainer.
