Welcome to my Christmas Advent CAL. I decided to make this Christmas blanket 3 weeks ago, so its been a bit of a rush! I wanted a blanket that myself and my daughter's could snuggle under and watch a movie on Christmas Eve, so this is what I came up with. I have tried to make the squares as easy as possible. I will be releasing them over the next 12 days, so that you can work at your own pace with them as some of the squares you will need to make 2, 3, or even 4 of. 

I have used a 4mm hook and Deramores Studio DK yarn - although you can use an DK yarn - this blanket would be great for using up your stash.
