I was excited to design this written pattern for Redheart and now there is a video tutorial as well
The pattern was designed for a child/baby/lap blanket but its really easy to make it bigger. Its as simple as making more squares :)

The big bottom bag can be make in sizes small, medium and large - but just by adjusting the starting chain you can make it it any size you like :)
Also the opening of the bag can be made smaller or bigger by using a small or bigger size crochet hook. The length of the bag is adjustable by making more or less rounds

The pet bed tutorial is great for using up scraps and can be made in various sizes
The sides of the bed are double thickness for extra stability

This shawl design is worked side to side and not top to bottom or bottom to top
Self striping yarn works great and I only used 1 ball of Red Heart Unforgettable in the candied colourway
