Rachel's Blanket

This warm blanket is worked in basket weave stitch for the body and has a ridged border using contrast colours and little flowers in the corners. It takes a lot of yarn, which makes it very warm, but it uses a large hook and so works up quite quickly. The pattern is written for a blanket 1.5 yards by 1 yard, but can easily be made bigger by increasing the starting chain by multiples of 3.
