About the Pattern: When I 1st shared images of this texture online, quite a few said it reminded them of “stars and stripes.” I made this for a friend who is also an American, so I thought this somewhat patriotic play on words was fitting. The color of the yarn used for the sample was “Capri” and also reminded me of the sea. The afghan is reversible (basically the same on both sides, just with reversed textures.)

Finished Size: You may make this blanket to any desired dimensions. Sample baby blanket measured approx. 30” square.

Pattern is written in standard American crochet terms.
