This versatile pattern creates a beautiful baby blanket, throw, or playmat using solid granny squares in three complementary colours, all framed by an elegant bobble border. The resulting fabric is wonderfully thick and sturdy, making it an ideal, durable foundation for blankets of all sizes. The pattern is fully customisable, allowing you to easily adjust the dimensions and colour palette to your preference.

Originally launched in 2015 and featured in Love Crochet Magazine (UK), the pattern was revised in 2021 to feature an updated yarn selection following the discontinuation of Rooster Almerino DK.

The pattern is written with both UK and US crochet terminology and gives the details for both blankets including yarns used, layouts and customisation options.
