Summertime

Blanket made up of pretty granny squares with a summery Dahlia motif in the centre.

Pattern includes step-by-step photos and instructions to 'join-as-you-go', and can be easily adapted to any size from a cushion cover, to a lap / baby blanket, to a kingsize bed cover if you wish.

Yarn requirements for the 5 x 5 square lap blanket pictured are as below, but Summertime also makes a great stash / scrap-busting project!

Materials required
