Checkerboard in Primary Colors Blanket
A free version is also available.
I am a huge fan of crochet motifs. I love the portability and I also enjoy using up odds and ends from my stash. This simple motif pattern creates a vibrant blanket.
These 4” (10 cm) motifs work up quickly. Customize the blanket by using more or fewer colors.
This pattern is available for FREE on my blog here.
The free version is supported by advertising on my website. The downloadable PDF for sale on Ravelry includes the full pattern in one printable file without advertisements.
