Diagonal Pattern Baby Blanket

Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

10 sc and 11 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Diagonal Pattern Baby Blanket Reviewed by Michele Fanning on 2013-02-01 *****
I switched the yarn and used two strands of vanna's choice held together instead of the homespun since that's what I had in my stash. I ended up using 3 balls each of navy and sky blue to give it a tweedy look. I did need to use a bigger hook - size N (9mm) to accommodate the added bulk. Other than that I just followed the pattern and it turned out great! It keeps my 2 year old warm and cozy on cold nights.
