Crochet Pandora's Box Blanket
The Crochet Pandora's Box Blanket by Mikey is an easy to follow pattern that is using the very best of Caron Big Cakes Yarn. Using 4 balls will create square blanket to be about 50" square.
For this project, I used the interior of the Caron Big Cakes Ball for the double crochet rounds. For the single crochet, ch 3 rounds, I used the exterior of the same ball. This creates the colours to be cross mixed over top of each other. Eventually both ends will meet up. Once out, grab another ball and do the same thing to until you get to your desired size.
The colour used is the Toffee Brickle colouring. It gives a Moroccan look to the blanket.

Here is a close up of the front and I have flipped over one corner. The extended single crochet is a double sided stitch that appears on both sides.

I made the blanket and I absolutely love it. My tension probably wasn't so great, so I need to block it to bring it back to square. Any suggestions on blocking a piece this large?
Thanks so much for this and all your patterns. Working your patterns gave me a wonderful holiday season.

Here is what I do with my large projects. I run the project run a cold water rinse cycle/spin in my washer. I then lay my project out flat on my tile floor to dry overnight. I take my time smoothing, adjusting, stretching and shaping the stitches as needed to make my project square. Michael likes to use a streamer on his projects.

great tutorial... and loving this pattern... your reference to lady and the tramp.. does that mean that the 'exterior' yarn is from the same cake as the 'interior' yarn??
thank you
