Croydon Square

Today I am sharing with you a blanket I completed back in August.  It was made as a gift for an expectant mother who happens to work in the same office as myself.  The gift was gratefully received and it was a joy to make.  The wool used was Stylecraft Special DK and was lovely to crochet with. The squares, known as the Croydon Square were made individually and then joined together.  

The pattern came from the New Encyclopedia of Crochet Techniques.  I have introduced you to this book before.  This time around I made the Baby Afghan blanket.  I added an extra column of squares to mine so it was square.  It took about a month to make and on average a couple of hours most days.
