This is a great blanket/ afghan. Uses Stylecraft DK and 4 mm hook, but any yarn could be used as a great stash buster. You'll need 10 colours, 9 for the actual squares and 1 for joining them together - my personal rule was no white. Joined using the continuous join method. The order of the colours was released weekly on my blog - to have a blanket in 13 weeks - you could make more squares weekly to make the project quicker.

I am in love with the combination of pinks and cream here, and how the edging turned out! It gives me a vintage feel. This blanket would be a great baby shower gift, or as part of your nursery. The size makes it great for changing baby's diaper, tummy time and cuddling. It's also longer than my I Love This Soft Baby Ripple Blanket so it'll work great for toddlers and children also. I put it on the legs to see, and it covered them comfortably with my feet left hanging out. Now, I think I want one to use when I am sitting up in bed crocheting!"
This blanket was designed primarily for teaching the basics of Tunisian crochet. The squares are in order of complexity and start with Beginner level stitches leading into Advanced Beginner techniques towards the end. The aim is for people of any skill level to join and (hopefully) learn something new and have a finished product to showcase at the end! The sizes of the squares might vary a little and that is okay. The joining technique used to join the squares will mask the difference.
