Brighten any nursery with this ode to the traditional granny square! It’s made in squishy, huggable Alegria Grande, our easy-care, silky-soft, worsted weight yarn. We chose Alegria Grande in Oxygen, a light, crisp blue-green, as our main color.

•

For the contrast colors, we used 9 colors of Alegria Grande Bocados for the colorful centers. Each Bocado is a 25g mini-skein of Alegria Grande - a fun opportunity to play with colors for this Crayon Box Baby Blanket!
