Pattern Notes

Gauge is not necessary for this project. One finished square measures approximately 8 inches and the completed blanket is approximately 45x65 inches using the yarn & hook listed below.
You can make a larger or smaller version using more or less squares, or by changing your yarn weight & hook size. I recommend going up .5-1mm in hook size from what you normally use with your chosen yarn.
Color options are endless for this design, though I would recommend no less than 4 colors + the Main Color to ensure a pleasing layout of square types/colors.
This blanket consists of Moss Stitch squares. Each square has 17 rounds. All squares are completed and then joined in the Main Color using the continuous method to create a stunning effect of floating whole and stencil-like squares.
