I wanted to share another blanket I crocheted using this same pattern but with different colors & alternating the order of the colors for each block.
For this variation I used 5 colors of “I Love This Yarn” from hobby lobby. I needed 2 skeins of each color
- Linen
- Rosy Cheeks
- Light Sage
- Dark Olive
- Graphite
Each block had all 5 colors with the same color for the 1st and 7th rounds. I didn’t follow any specific color order, I simply made a different color way for each block.
