Pattern Notes:

• The graph is read from the bottom right corner to the top left corner. You will be working diagonally and reading the rows from left to right and then right to left.

• Each square on the graph counts as one block. One block consists of one 3 Ch and 3 Dc.

• You will be turning after every row.

• I recommend printing the graph and crossing off each row as you go.

• Color A- “Ecru” (main color), Color B- “Taupe Heather” (secondary color)

  I offer the fully written out pattern with row by row instructions. This is a ad-free pdf available on both Etsy and Ravelry. I know some people work better with written instruction verses just viewing a graph!

Trim: With color A, work single crochet stitches evenly around the blanket. You will be making 3 single crochet into the same stitch at all 4 corners (to keep the corners from curling). You will be working approximately 3 single crochet per block around the blanket. When you reach the bottom left side at rows 51-93 switch to Color B. Switch back to Color A for the remainder of the edging. Sl St into the first single crochet stitch to join.

Tie off and weave in all ends.

I hope you guys enjoy this pattern! It was such a blast to make!
