This is a straightforward crochet pattern using simple crochet techniques - granny squares and stripes - making it suitable for all abilities. Bobble stitches and crab stitch for the outside edge are also used.

There are more 100 colour photos in the 24 page pattern with detailed step by step instructions for each section. A playlist of nine video tutorials accompanies it as well.

The colour blending and shading is what really makes the blanket stand out. There are 19 yarn colours, including one which is variegated.

Most of the colours require one ball (skein) with a few requiring two.
