"This blanket has an interesting texture and beautiful border that resembles a woven fabric. I designed it in bold stripes alternating three colors, but you can customize the stripes, or keep it solid to really showcase the gorgeous texture. It works up so fast and is so soft in this yarn, but it would look great in many other yarn choices - try it in a bulky for a super thick throw or a DK or Sport for a finer look (perhaps a baby blanket). It's easy to adjust sizing too, I give you instructions so you can make it smaller or larger! Approximately 40 x 45” Designed in worsted weight yarn"

"This small baby blanket is a new twist on the basketweave stitch except it is done in groups of 10 so that it looks like blocks. After the second row, you really don't need to do much counting as you will just keep doing the stitches in groups of 10s. You must know how to work around the post as the stitches used are front post double crochet or back post double crochet and regular double crochet. You will enjoy making this blanket in a variegated yarn or a plain color."

"This snowy field crochet blanket is one of those easy crochet patterns that are a joy to make once you get started. With the half double crochet v-stitch pattern that is finished off with a front and back post double crochet. I just love how this blanket turned out. Years ago, I would have just made wide stripes all the same size; however, the more modern look is to have varying sizes of stripes. This crochet pattern does have repeating rows for an easy pattern, but I still think that this blanket has a very modern look to it. The crochet border is very easy to achieve with the front and back post double crochet. "
