Velvet Plaid Blanket
"The velvet plaid blanket is the perfect fall crochet project. I am so in love with this thing!! I just want to curl up in it all the time. I made a smaller lapghan size, but I really think I’ll end up making a queen velvet blanket for my bed when I get a chance. I think you will really like the velvet yarn for this project.
