Simple Song is for those of us who want to use one ball of every color! Choose 8 colors of yarn and make a sweet, simple double crochet blanket for yourself, a loved one, or to donate to Project Linus.

The blanket is all double crochet stitches in US terms. It is designed for worsted weight yarn and a 4 mm or 5 mm hook. You can adapt the basic pattern for bulkier yarn or for thinner yarn.
