Rainbow Stripe Blanket

Puff Tissue Cover

I am crocheting a tissue cover. I got the pattern from The Royal Sisters blog so it you like the cover you can get their pattern their. I first used their terms which are not like ours and used peaches and cream yarn. So it is a little different from their pattern. But I am still going to finish it to see how it turns out. Will post when finished.
