The More, The Merrier! This beginner-friendly blanket has enough room for everyone to snuggle. A great way to use up your stash of self-striping dk weight yarn like Mandala. Choose several different colors that make you happy, or use all one color.

The simple pattern is all double crochet (US terms) in between the stitches. So easy! This is a great pattern for crocheting in dark rooms, while watching television or children, on road trips, or for crocheters with limited sight or mobility. Photo tutorial included in the pattern.
