Grandiflora Rose Square: In Bloom Spring Blanket CAL
I have to be honest, I am OBSESSED with big pink roses. My favorite variety is the Queen Elizabeth grandiflora rose (guess who just planted on in her garden? That’s right! This girl!!) When Claire from Bear Rye invited me to be a part of the In Bloom Spring Blanket Crochet Along, I knew immediately my pattern would be based on my favorite pink rose!
“But wait!” You say. “What blanket CAL?” Did you miss it? No! The In Bloom Spring Blanket CAL is a collaboration of designers. We each design a floral themed square for a blanket! Each day in the month of April, a new square for the blanket is released! You can follow along and get the free PDF download for the first day the pattern is live and at the end of the month, put all your squares together for a stunning blanket!
