This pattern is for a giant granny square blanket. The amount of yarn you need depends on how you arrange the colours. As there is no colour scheme in this pattern, you are free to arrange it any way you like. This pattern contains written instructions, several photos that will help you go through the pattern and two general diagrams that can be helpful to make this blanket. They are not full diagrams for the entire blanket, but diagrams that will help you understand the general pattern. The sample was worked in Scheepjes Cotton 8, using scraps of many different colours. Suggested substitute yarns and colours are shown below.
