Notes
Blanket is constructed by working 12 identical squares and attaching them together with whip stitch or crochet. Each square is worked from the centre outward in the round. The first few rounds of each square can be tricky, so you might find it easier to use shorter double pointed needles to begin. Change to circular needles when necessary as stitches increase. Pattern is written for double pointed needles, however the Magic loop technique can be used if preferred with a stitch marker placed between each lace motif. To increase the size of the blanket, work more squares. Keep in mind that more yarn will be required.
