This is an 18 page Pattern for a lovely and colourful Christmas blanket, using the method of tapestry crochet. The blanket is constructed using 77 squares.

Each square has a chart to follow as well as a written pattern.

There is lots of useful info and photos within the pattern to help you along.

The blanket in the photos uses a mixture of different brands of yarn because those were the colours I really wanted for the colour scheme I had in mind, however you can use whatever colours you like.
