Beyond rich in visual texture, the Honeybear Blanket crochet pattern takes a classic geometric checkered look to a whole new level. The clean lines and subtle dimension of the popcorn stitches will show off your pristine craftsmanship and wow anyone looking for a classy handmade heirloom.

Worked from the center out, this square blanket is deceptively constructed to imitate the look of back and forth rows, but be simple and convenient to work on.
