Sakura Crochet Blanket is made of Granny Squares, you can join them as squares (regular way) , or diagonally like i did to create diamond pattern. You can also add flowers to the centers only, or to the each corner possible - feel free to be creative and express yourself!
You can use any kind of yarn, just make sure your crochet hook is the right size (or a bit smaller). I used Worsted weight yarn (#4) and 5 mm crochet hook and my motif is 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 in (7.5 x 7.5 cm).
Depending on the size you are making, you will need about 650yadrs (610 meters) or more of yarn for the medium sized baby blanket.
Happy Crocheting!
