Bolderwood is named after the beautiful forest which is also a deer sanctuary in New Forest. This is made out of four types of squares which use all four stitches, which are then joined together to form a large blanket. You are in complete control of how large you would like the blanket to be. I have laid them out diagonally in a style of traditional patchwork quilt; starting from the corner you have rows of textured squares, followed by rows of plain squares, each row uses one or two colours. All the squares are joined using flat slip stitch joint, then the edging is crocheted on. I have loved making this blanket as you can’t beat the portability of a crochet square, you can take them anywhere.
