I'm so happy to be able to share my latest blanket pattern with you. I've been working on the blanket and pattern off and on since late last year. This blanket is perfect for beginners because the only stitches used are chains and trebles.
The colour palette here was inspired by seaside colours, however the design lends itself well to a whole host of colour combinations.
Wishing you loads of fun working on this design, and if you do change the colours i'd love to see a photo of your completed blanket.
Do you love my Sunny Sunflower crochet square pattern that I released two weeks ago but you don't want to make a blanket?
Here's another fun idea! Make the central part of the motif, fold in half and stitch a portion of the edges together where they meet, forming a wedge shaped napkin and cutlery holder.
A lovely addition to your autumnal table settings for Weddings, Halloween, Autumn or any other celebration.
I love finding the versatility within my projects while designing them.

PS - Take a look in the post below for another alternative idea.
Nothing
like a stripey granny crochet blanket to snuggle up with on a chilly evening.
I made this a few years ago to fit our king-size bed so as you can
image it's large and heavy. It was especially so while it was piled up
on my lap during sessions of hooking.
The yarn used is Stylecraft Special Double Knit yarn, crocheted with a 3.5mm hook.
I didn't write out a pattern as its a simple foundation row, followed by rows of granny stitches. Disclosure: Yarn purchased by me. This is not a sponsored or subsidised pattern or blogpost. Style craft DK yarn purchased by me from Wool Warehouse.
The pattern for the Mitred Granny Square (Optical Illusion Blanket) which used to appear in this post has moved to my website as is still free to download. Click the image above to be taken to it.

Round 5.
Join new yarn into a space between clusters.
Ch4 (this forms DTr) Tr2 into same space, *Ch1, Tr3 into next space, Ch1, Tr3 into next space, Ch1, Tr2 and DTr1into next space Ch2 then into this same space DTR1 and Tr2 to form a corner* now repeat * to* to end, join to first Tr with SS to close round.
I joined the motifs together by working single crochet on the outward facing edges to form a defined border between each square.
First I joined five squares together at a time, then when I had five strips, I joined these together. The finishing edge around the whole piece is worked in double crochet stitches.
To make a cushion: Make two pieces as shown in the photo above, or make one piece as shown above and a second one as a single large Granny Square.
Place the pieces together with the right sides facing out and crochet three of the sides together using Double Crochet stitches. Place the cushion pad inside and crochet the final side together.
