Inspired by the beauty of Native American textiles, this blanket provides a welcome change from traditional baby blankets. The design is simple, with contemporary colors and lovely, simple geometric patterns that will provide a nice challenge for improving beginners.

The finished blanket measures 39” x 26” (100cms x 66cms), with instructions for shortening it slightly if you prefer a squarer format.

The pattern is written for improving beginners. It includes a photo tutorial for colorwork, line-by-line written pattern instructions, and a color graph. If you like working from graphs this is very easy to follow and makes up in no time, being made in simple double crochet stitches (UK treble crochet).
