The Crochet Lumberjack Blanket that resembles men's work socks is very Canadian. For me personally, when I see these socks, I think of my dad when I was really young. He worked at a foundry and I remember him always wearing these socks plus seeing them piled into the laundry.
Today, these socks are still trendy. A few years ago, wearing these types of socks for fashion was trendy. I know a few people who wear these around the house in the wintertime. I know I do from time to time.
We used Bernat Softee Chunky for this blanket.
So for me, this has memories built into this afghan. Just the colour shades and textures used. There's a lot to be said about how practical the socks were and I can totally see myself under a blanket like this in the cold winter evenings or just watching tv.
For those who want to change the size. The Multiple for this Stitch is Multiple 4 + 3.
The same designer did this unique Canadian pillow too!
