Forget Me Not Dots Blanket
This blanket will always remind me of the time I sat together with my Nan, as we tried to work out how she’d made the same square that I’ve used in this project. I like to think that she would have been pleased with the way this blanket turned out and I hope you make some very special memories while crocheting up one of your own.
