This webpage features a pattern dedicated to Project Linus. Bev states: “I created this snuggly for some dear friends of mine who are adopting a baby. I worked on it in the evenings and was able to finish in 5 days. Thus the name. Some of you could complete it in a weekend I am sure. It’s much like some of my other shell blankets but it is so fast, and uses less yarn.”
In addition to wholesale fleece blankets, Crooked Brook offers wholesale sweatshirt blankets, wholesale fleece baby blankets and personalized fleece blankets. The method of decoration they use to customize blankets is embroidery, and when mistakes happen (or sometimes it is just a smudge that can be washed out), they have perfectly good blankets they can’t sell and these are the blankets they donate to Project Linus Chapters. These blankets are ideal for cutting down and crocheting around the edges or making No Sew Fleece Blankets. In addition, Project Linus Chapters are eligible for a 10% discount on custom T-shirts.
