Desert Aquifer is a fusion of standard and Tunisian crochet. Don't worry if you've never tried Tunisian before - you don't need a special hook for this pattern, and there's photo tutorials to walk you through it!

-------------------
Aquifer (n.): an underground layer of rock or earth which holds groundwater.
--------------------

Even though their value isn’t always readily seen on the surface, aquifers hold precious water;
They are a source of refreshment for those who come in contact with them.
This pattern is dedicated to the people who are aquifers –
They have great depth and give freely to those who need them.
This particular blanket was designed for my sister in law,
Who is an “aquifer" in my life –
She gives freely and abundantly of her love and life to everyone around her.
This blanket is for one of a set of surprise twins she is expecting.
I hope this project refreshes and invigorates you,
Inspiring you to love and give to those in your life who need it.
