Inspiration
I wanted to design a blanket that was bold and fun but easy to make. Tapestry crochet is the perfect technique to create these bold blocks of colour in a chessboard style. This method is an easy technique to master and gives a clean finish to each square.

Col. B Gent (2002) x 3 balls
Col. C Zwolle (1082) x 2 balls

You will need approx. 3000m of DK yarn
