Crochet Social Textures Gingham Blanket
I’ve always wanted to crochet a gingham style blanket, and decided that small Social Textures squares would make a pretty Social Textures Gingham Blanket Pattern. I have made my design baby sized, but you can easily keep going and make this one any size you like.
This is a variation of the Social Textures Baby Blanket.
I used Caron One Pound yarn in 3 colors for this blanket and had quite a bit leftover. Each square hooked up in about 10 minutes, so it’s another great project to take along and still be social with friends while you crochet.
