CARRIE BLANKET WRAP | CROCHET PATTERN

When "And Just Like That" aired earlier this year, Carrie's blanket wrap quickly became the star of the show for us fiber enthusiasts. Many of us thought to ourselves " I could totally make that" .... and we did.

Carrie's luxurious blanket is knit from 100% cashmere hand dyed yarn and can be yours for the lovely price of $2650. If you'd like to make your own " budget friendly" version of Carrie's blanket wrap, continue reading below.
