Stardew Valley fan neednewsunglasses shared a look at the gorgeous blanket they crocheted featuring familiar faces and icons from the game. The blanket, which took an estimated 75-90 hours to complete, was made using a corner to corner, or C2C, crochet technique. Displayed in the pattern are the six bachelorettes in Stardew Valley, a blue and brown chicken, and a Stardrop. The highly-detailed characters each have their distinctive features, including Abigail's purple hair, Emily's red dress, Maru's overalls, Leah's braids, Penny's yellow blouse, and Haley's pink skirt. Alternating blue and green backgrounds on the 9-grid pattern helps to make the characters and icons pop and add to the quaint aesthetic of the handmade blanket.
