The Yarn That’s Perfect for this Pittsburgh Blanket
I used Charisma yarn from Michaels stores, but any bulky 5 yarn would work! If you can’t find the yarn, I used, I highly suggest using Lion Brand Yarn Hometown or Wool-Ease Thick & Quick as a replacement.

Krista, I am sorry but I can’t seem to follow your pattern for the Pittsburgh Crochet Blanket Pattern. Every row goes back to repeat row 1. How can that be? I would love to crochet this blanket.
