I love crocheting simple blankets for donation. It keeps my hands busy when I’m watching sports or listening to an audiobook.
The Linen Stitch blanket is one of my favorites to do with the Mandala Ombré yarn. I use a pattern from a kit I bought several years ago for these but you can find free instructions for a similar blanket at this link.
I skein done … 3 to go!

Beautiful but so subdued after the last quilt.
Very pretty. I’ve made one baby blanket from your pattern. Too hot here to crochet much more than a wash cloth.
Linen stitch and that Mandala yarn always work well together.
