Do you have bits and bobs of leftover yarn? This a a great pattern for using those and for practicing with color and pattern. In this class we will be making circle-in-a-square granny squares to join together into a beautiful blanket. We'll also gently dip into some color theory (e.g. which colors can be combined to create a certain mood and why.) (Adventurous beginner friendly)
