Some days I wish I was a turtle on a warm sandy beach…and now is the perfect time to go to the beach to crochet! I love to crochet blankets in spring & summer because I usually have more time for larger projects and I just love crocheting outside. Check out our new Bubbles The Turtle Blanket pattern, it’s a super fun project for everyone who enjoys crocheting outside as much as I do!

I made this blanket from Paintbox Simply Aran yarn to match our Turtle Rug pattern that was made from Paintbox Simply Chunky yarn.

People love different yarns for different reasons…I love Paintbox for its modern look and its softness. You will never get disappointed at a variety of fabulous colors!

UPDATE: June 22 / 2018

This blanket measures 42” (106.7 cm) X 51” (129.5 cm) & the pattern calls for the following colors:

• Washed Teal – 5 skeins
• Soft Fudge – 3 skeins

• Light Caramel – 2 skeins
• Spearmint Green – 1 skein
