New Pattern: Meet Skye the Squirrel!

Multicoloured Granny Square Baby Blanket
…11 years in the making!
Some time around 2013, I started making granny squares out of all my variegated yarns… I wondered “Now what am I supposed to do with all these squares??” So I decided I would make a blanket out of them.
