This blanket uses the C2C method.
I used C2C with HDC to create this blanket. You can use C2C with DC if you prefer.

Gauge for this pattern doesn’t necessarily matter.
If it helps a 7x7 block area measured to be about 4x4 inches.
My completed blanket measured out to be 30 X 30 inches.

I used Hobby Lobby I love this yarn with a 5.5mm hook.
Feel free to use different yarn and your preferred hook for this blanket.

I used about 2 skeins for the background color and less than one of each of the other colors.
