WHAT YOU WILL CROCHET

  • I designed this blanket using some “not so traditional granny squares” which are joined together as you go.
  • The blanket has a simple border, creating a 3D Kaleidoscope effect.

FINISHED SIZE

  • This blanket is made up of squares.  You can make your blanket larger or smaller by adapting the number of squares you make.
  • 3 x 3 Square Blanket 113 x 113 cm (45 x 45 inches) - measured from edge of border to edge of border.
  • 3 x 4 Rectangle Blanket 113 x 150 cm (45 x 60 inches) - measured from edge of border to edge of border.
  • 4 x 5 Rectangle Blanket 150 x 187 cm (60 x 74 inches) - measured from edge of border to edge of border.
