This crochet gingham picnic blanket afghan is made using durable cotton yarn and is perfect for outdoor summer play at the park, beach, or anywhere you love to adventure! It is worked in the C2C technique with many small blocks sewn together - don't worry I have a video tutorial with the pattern if you are new to the technique! This afghan pattern is for a kids size blanket, but you could double the number of blocks to create a full size picnic blanket for the whole family!

The Granny Square Kid's picnic blanket is just the pattern to create a cute, snuggly blanket that you can use so many ways. Toss it over the back of an armchair for decorative purposes, bring it out for a picnic, or, like the name says - give it to your kids. You make this pattern by working in squares, which makes it a fun project to take with you on the go. You don't have to carry the whole blanket with you, but can carry it in squares until you're ready to work all the squares together into the finished project.

Warm Up America! is a charity which accepts blanket squares or "sections" that volunteers seam together into blankets. Crochet this lemon section to donate! Each April, the Craft Yarn Council in conjunction with Warm Up America! invites you to Stitch Away Stress. Crochet, as you know, is such a wonderfully soothing activity. Lemons have become the emblem for this promotion because the first pattern designed for Stitch Away Stress was a cute lemon stress ball! This cheery motif is wonderful for lemon lovers to work up year-round. Section together your own beautiful lemon afghan, or donate these sections to a wonderful cause.
