ABC Blanket

This crochet pattern provides instructions to make an alphabet blanket, approximately 164 cm x 118 cm. Perfect for a child, it will keep them warm, as well as being educational! Let them learn the colours of the rainbow (including primary and secondary colours), and have fun finding colour patterns in the design - all while learning the capital letters of the alphabet! The finished blanket is large enough to be used on a single bed, or even as a lap blanket for a teen or adult.

The pattern calls for DK yarn in six colours, and black. A 4.00 mm crochet hook is used for the blocks, which are made individually using the corner-to-corner technique (explained in detail in US terms). The specific pattern for each block is given as both a pixel graph, and as a written pattern. The border on each block and around the edge of the blanket requires a 3.00 mm hook. 1.5 skeins (100 g) of each colour, and 4.5 skeins of black, are needed.

The only additional material is a darning needle.
