Blossoming Bloom Blanket CAL – Pop-Up Garden Part 5

This is part 5 for the Blossoming Bloom Blanket CAL.

This strip is my contribution to the blanket. I chose this stitch combination and called it Pop-Up Garden

The Blossoming Blanket Pattern is a 53″ x 63″ / 135 x 160 cm size throw blanket.

• The blanket is made out of 12 different strip pattern that are worked on top of each other (no joining or sewing here!). A final border is then worked around the blanket.
• Each section’s instructions is accompanied by step-by-step photo tutorials. Some also have charts and videos for the different stitches featured.

My contribution is a super easy textured strip.
