The PDF includes a detailed 21-page tutorial with 63 step-by-step photos to walk you through and show you exactly where to stitch.
I would rate this an intermediate level crochet pattern.
It reads like a friend explaining how to make the blanket.
Pattern repeat is included so that it can be made virtually any size.

If you are like me you choose a blanket by the stitch/pattern first and not the size.
Did you ever see a blanket you really Love but the pattern is for a baby blanket?
Or it is baby blanket size and you want to make a large afghan.
