Crochet pattern for a colorful blanket



You can use a wide variety of colors for this blanket. That way, you’ll never get bored, even if you want to make the blanket a bit larger.

It is started in the center, and like a granny square, you add one round at a time.

Here is the pattern with yarn recommendations. 

Admittedly, it is a sad thought, but this summer too will come to an end at some point. And so that autumn does not become too grey, there is quite a lot to celebrate, e.g. St. Martin's Day with its colourful lantern parade.



You can make this lantern together with your child – while you take care of cutting the photo cardstock, your child can make all the shapes from tracing paper. Together, you can then glue the paper behind the cut-out areas. The lantern is about 18 x 25 cm in size, making it very handy and comfortable to carry.

A plaid hat is very stylish, I can tell you. And you can knit it yourself.
This pattern is available in 4 different sizes. You’ll need yarn with a yardage of about 114 m per 50 g in two different colors and a set of 4 mm double-pointed needles or a circular needle.
