Homespun double strand blanket





I just finished this awesome thick warm blanket for my boyfriend and myself for this winter. I wanted to try making one with the homespun yarn from Lion Brand for a while and finally just said do it. I LOVE it!!! Its going to be so warm and nice when the weather cools off this winter. Maybe it'll save me some money on my heating bills..LOL. I improvised on the pattern just a bit. My boyfriend is over 6 feet tall and I wanted it to cover him from his chin to his toes. I decided to make the blanket a bit wider and much longer then the pattern called for. This was such an easy pattern, just 2 stiches. I got it online at lionbrand.com.
