Designed by Request – Thanks to Joyce!
This fun bowling-themed blanket came to life thanks to a special request from a fellow crocheter, Joyce. She reached out asking for a design that featured a bowling ball and pin—and I couldn’t resist the opportunity to create her vision! After completing her blanket, Joyce kindly shared photos of her finished project so I could pass along the inspiration to all of you. A big thank you to Joyce for the idea, the time she put into making the blanket, and for helping bring this creative design to life! All of the images shared of the bowling blanket are courtesy of Joyce.
