Like the stripes that occur naturally on a freshly mowed yard, this blanket uses greens that are just a shade or two apart. The dark edges are meant to represent trees or bushes around the perimeter of a yard and the ruffles represent the cut grass that is blown out of a mower without a catcher on it. This blanket would look equally fluffy in shades of pink or blue or any color that cuddles your heart.

The blanket is created using a hybrid of crochet methods. The stripes are created with Tunisian crochet. The ruffles and edging is traditional crochet.
