Introduction
French Braid Blanket is an extremely versatile pattern that will make your remnants sing, or bust through your stash with ease. There is a Mega Square Version, a Mondo Square version, and a Mini Square version.

Make the Mega Square version if:
• You have at least 2 100g balls of each color
• You want fewer ends to weave (the blanket is literally one huge square)
• You don’t want to sew squares together

Make the Mondo Square version if:
• You have larger quantities of each color
• You want fewer ends to weave (the squares are larger so you need to make fewer of them for the same size blanket)
• You want to make fewer motifs to reach your desired blanket size

Make the Mini Square version if:
• You are working with small amounts of yarn, for a zero-waste project (remnants busting)
• You want each motif to be quicker for instant gratification
• You like the look of many motifs or want more color variety
