Desert Bloom is a texture-ghan that works equally well in a sweet and pretty color palette as it does in a serious or subtle one.

Complete crochet charts are included and can be used on their own or as a helpful tool with the written pattern.

Instructions for 4 different sizes - Baby, kid/lapghan/ medium throw, and large throw (see details below) - are included in the pattern. Pattern is also very easy to customize to meet your own size requirements - you can increase and decrease width in increments of about 5 inches and length in increments of about 10 inches.

Instructions also include color placement for 6 - 8 different colors in all 4 sizes if you’d like to create your own color palette.

Pattern is also available on Etsy. Click the “visit pattern website” link above to buy it there.
