The cold weather is here and so many of us are spending even more time indoors! If you are like my family and I…you love to be snuggled in a warm and cozy blanket while reading…watching TV…browsing blogs on your laptop or hanging out with your pets! I think you and yours would adore some Trendy DIY Chunky Knit Blankets! They really are trending like wild fire and there is a reason…they are simply fabulous but they can cost you up to $600! So of course The Cottage Market had to put a collection together of Trendy DIY Chunky Knit Blankets You Need to Make (some are even made with your arms as needles). Then for those of you that don’t want to knit one I have put together a collection of some cushy creations from Etsy along with some cool Etsy Shops that sell the wool (not sponsored). So grab that hot cup of cocoa…sit down on the comfy couch…put your feet up and take a peek at these super soft and luxurious blankets!!
