Have you ever dreamed of parsing and diagramming sentences and preserving them for posterity in a crochet item? If you answered “yes,” then this is the pattern for you. Born out of love for all things Essentials, this blanket makes a great keepsake or tutor thank you gift.

I’ve called the pattern the Essentials Co-op Blanket. Utilizing the corner-to-corner (C2C) method, you can whip this blanket up in no time (or a couple of weeks). My pattern includes graphs for each panel and a brief C2C primer. Also included is a Connected Lettering tutorial to help keep the letters connected and not looking too blocky.

The pattern uses 18 skeins of Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-pilling: 10 in Beige Heather, 2 in Purple, 2 in Baby Blue, 2 in Deep Denim Heather, and 2 in Pine Heather.
