Dancing Mushroom Blanket

Design by Jessie Rayot, owner of Jessie At Home.

This mushroom blanket is perfect for all babies. It is shown here in a blue, but you can make the mushroom and the border in any color that you like!

Vintage style crochet patterns just make me happy. I designed this Dancing Mushroom chart years ago, and I finally found the perfect yarn to turn it into a sweet little blanket. The center image panel is surrounded by a thick border in several different stitch patterns which add to the style of this family heirloom to-be.
