Description

New for 2024 – Updated pattern for Mary Maxim Kit, larger blanket size, new charts and diagrams. Easy granny octagons and squares joined with a slip stitch join. Larger version uses about 2400 yards of DK weight yarn for a size of 35″ x 44″. Smaller square – I used about 1050 meters total (1150 yards) with 300 meters (328 yards) of Main Color (blue) for border and join for this example which measures 33″ square.

Nice size as shown for a baby blanket, baby floor mat, or lap throw, but can be expanded to any size square or rectangle, just leave the granny squares between the circles and the tiny grannies winking along the edges.

Pattern includes an extensively tested written pattern as well as pattern chart (schematic.) This listing is for the crochet pattern only which is a digital download.
