This pattern uses the corner-to-corner crochet (c2c) method with lots of color changes. It is an intermediate pattern, but comes with tutorials on the c2c method as well as connecting letters. It is a pattern that will take you a few weeks to make (if you have a few hours a day to spend on it), but the end result is well worth it.

The pattern comes in two different versions: a bold version with bright colors and polka dots and a pastel version which has a slightly simpler pattern. But even though I’ve chosen colors, they could work with any color combination. I’d encourage you to pick your own. It could also be a good pattern to use as a stash buster.

I’ve also included two border options to chose from. While the c2c method makes clean edges, I think the blanket looks more complete when a border has been added. These borders are simple, but finish the blankets off well.
