This pretty blanket is worked in v stitch using one plain colour and one variegated to give a lovely striped effect. The use of my lazy crochet technique means that single stripes can be worked in each of the two yarns without having to cut them and darn in all those ends.

My finished blanket is 100 cm² and I used about 260g of the main colour (including the border) and 230g of the variegated contrast colour. The blanket is finished with a simple, three round border.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease.
