Blanket made up of relatively simple squares - the secret to the design is the positioning / orientation of the squares. Pattern includes full written instructions and clear step-by-step photos. There are 2 options for the border: the wide border shown on the original multicoloured blanket; and a simplified border as illustrated on the smaller monochrome baby blanket. Each border can be used on either size blanket.
