Faberge Easy Crochet Blanket Free Pattern Page by Kristin Omdahl

This is a beautiful blanket that grows from the center out in a square shape. Once you memorize the stitch pattern, it is easy to make this as large as you desire. The blanket whips up quickly with #5 bulky weight yarn, but if you wanted to use a thinner yarn, it would make a stunning square lace shawl, too.
