Simple Two Stitch Blanket

"This fun blanket pattern is geared to beginner crocheters looking to try larger designs. It's a great introduction to working with colour changes and uses only basic stitches throughout. Because it's a lap blanket, it's not a huge project but still creates a cozy finished piece. If you're an advanced crocheter, this blanket is a nice option for when you need a relaxing and simple project to work on. Inside the pattern you will find detailed written instructions, clear photos, required tools, approximate yardage needed and helpful tips for beginners."
