This pattern is available for free.

This pattern was originally intended to be laid out in a pinwheel shape, but there is a little secret: If you move the squares so that the triangles are at different angles, you can have an unlimited number of patterns! So feel free to play with it before you join the squares. A few suggested layouts are shown at the end of the pattern.

Materials:
Florafil Bulky—colors of your
choice.
The blanket is made with 3-4 colors: A
(center pinwheel—1 skein), B (center back-ground—3 skeins), C (pinwheel frame—3 skeins), D (corners—1 skein), and E (border—2 skeins). You may make these colors whatever you wish.

In case you want to do something other than the pinwheel shown in the pictures, each square is made up of two triangles, and it takes 1 skein of yarn to make 4-5 triangles
