Apples and Tomatoes Blanket

This is an instructional PDF written in both plain English, (not complicated crochet terms) AND the abbreviated crochet language.

a. Apples and Tomatoes Blanket including all the colors and yarn needed

b. a magic yarn ball

c. magic knot for the magic yarn ball

I have made the pattern and instructions as simple and organized as possible. I have had some absolutely amazing testers who have walked me through some changes to make it even more simple.

Northern New Mexico’s August and September overwhelm one with the beauty of the colors. They are vibrant and incredibly nourishing after the winter and long and cold muddy Spring. When New Mexico comes to life and we have rains, the beauty is boundless. I feel as if I have to stop and absorb all the irresistible colors. But I don’t know how – this is the only way I feel I can capture the brightness and the cheer these flowers bring. And then the apples came, and then the tomatoes…. And those colors became a huge part of the blanket.
