Crochet the Birch Blanket

Inspiration

Birch Trees have been a longstanding favorite of mine. There is something so amazing and exciting about their bright white trunks with their striking black marks. Add in their gorgeous color changes to the Wisconsin landscape and it’s just a whole mood. You may not want to be in the car with me during Fall…I’m likely yelling “Look at all those gorgeous Birch Trees!!” one too many times. I’m rubbing off on my kids, because now they point them all out too. To get to create a crochet birch tree blanket was a really fun challenge for me. Even more exciting is that it came out just like I hoped it would when I pictured this in my head. I really hope to see lots of versions of this blanket. Give me all the color!
