Each of these bright and bold crochet blanket designs features a center block worked in either single or double crochet while referring to a pattern chart. A border is then crocheted around, featuring a variety of stitch patterns and colors. Photos guide you through the first few rows as well as the more tricky color changes, and stitch counts are also written out row by row for you. The blankets are double-sided, and an ideal size for a baby, toddler, or young child.The patterns are an intermediate level, however an ambitious beginner can complete them, as they have photo tutorials and explanations. You should already be familiar with working the basic crochet stitches and reading patterns.
