This fabulous blanket is made up of individual squares and uses the inset mosaic crochet technique, worked in the round.
It was originally designed for issue 105 of Simply Crochet magazine, but you can now get the full PDF in US terms, as well as the original UK version.

The new PDF patterns include full written instructions, alongside a clear chart and lots of helpful photos.

The contrast between the alternating coloured and plain squares in this blanket creates a truly stunning effect.
