Crater Lake National Park is one of the prettiest parks—at least in my mom’s opinion! I haven’t had the chance to visit yet, but it’s high on my list.
What makes this park so unique is that it’s actually a deep blue lake formed inside a volcanic crater. That incredible landscape makes it a perfect addition to this National Parks crochet blanket. This block even features the lake’s only island, Wizard Island.
My son is especially interested in volcanoes right now, which makes this block even more fun and meaningful to include.
Materials
For this block, you will use the dark blue, green, grey, and light blue yarn. Please visit the first blog post introducing this pattern for instruction on how to do corner-to-corner. You can also purchase a printer-friendly pattern with all 12 blocks on Etsy.
