Prismatical blanket

Granny squares are all good and fun, but I have a special love for granny diamonds, they are both fun to make, and can be combined into endless combinations. For this blanket I have organised the diamonds in a chevron style pattern to add some extra interest. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! The pattern includes both UK and US terminology versions, for US terminology, start on pg6. Blank colour template on pg4 for creating your own colour combinations!
