Here it is - the release of my Joy In My Heart Blanket Crochet Pattern.

This pattern was simply inspired by love and family. Perfect for a new baby, an older child or even adults! It is designed to wrap people in a world of love and bring warmth to them.

The finished blanket measures approximately 30 inches by 38 inches but you can, of course make this any size you wish by simply making fewer or more squares.

I made the blanket in the photos using Stylecraft Special DK but it works equally as well in any weight yarn providing the same is used throughout.

I would suggest that this pattern is for crocheters with intermediate skills. Both US and UK terminology patterns are included. Please ensure you check which one you are working from.

The pattern includes photos for any tricky parts but it is not a step by step photo tutorial, it is a written pattern and not a chart.

This pattern uses back post stitches and no tutorial is given within the pattern for these. You can, of course, substitute these for a standard stitch should you wish to do so.

Gauge is not vital for this providing you work evenly throughout.
