Golden petals, earthy centres, and a shifting gradient of colour; this vibrant blanket is inspired by the energy of a summer garden in full bloom. Featuring 56 sunflower granny squares with a choice of two colourwash layouts, this pattern builds up motifs using the join as you go technique, before finishing with a simple border and beautiful tassels.

Packed with 120 step-by-step photos and 2 video demonstrations, this pattern will guide you through every stitch. The pattern also includes a printer-friendly version of the instructions, and both UK and US terms are provided. The pattern is suitable for intermediate crocheters, or those familiar with the basics who like a challenge.
