Vallecito Lake is nestle in a beautiful, secluded valley 8,000 ft (2,438 m) above sea level near my house in the San Juan mountains of southwest Colorado. This intermediate crochet pattern uses double crochet stitches and 5 colors for eye-catching colorwork in a feathered arrow motif. Layered tassels and an ombré border bring a fun finish for a southwestern blanket that’s perfect for gifting.
