This crochet blanket design is based on traditional Persian ceramic patterns and was designed by Jane as a reaction to the demand for a project echoing the theme of the 2013 Crochet Club.

The project is relatively simple in construction, consisting of just 4 different motifs; the main octagon piece surrounded by variations on granny squares and triangles. The stitches used are chain, slip stitch, double crochet, treble crochet and double treble crochet (UK terminology).

The Ravelry download now includes the pattern in English (UK & US terminology) and in the Dutch and Spanish languages
.
It also includes a chart.
