Nature Spun from Brown Sheep Yarn: colors 124 Butterscotch, 104 Grecian Olive, N93 Latte, 601 Pepper Black

Equipment

Zoom Loom
crochet hook

Directions

Weave 68 squares in color 124 Butterscotch. Weave 36 squares in color 104 Grecian Olive. Weave 36 squares in color N93 Latte.
Total : 140 squares
Use color 601 (Pepper Black) for joining the squares with crochet.
To crochet the border of the squares, start in the corner of a square. Slip stitch to join, chain 3, (skip 4 warp threads and go into the fabric about 2 weft threads, double crochet in that spot). Repeat 8 times on each side of the square. In the corners, chain 3 between the double crochet stitches. Slip stitch to join the first and last stitch, chain one to start a new row. Single crochet around the entire square.
To make the large squares, take four squares of one color and join them using a simple whip stitch in the back loops of the single crochet border.
Make 7 rows of 5 large squares in this pattern:
B A C A B
A C A B A
C A B A C
A B A C A
B A C A B
A C A B A
C A B A C
Finish by single crocheting around the entire blanket twice. The color combinations are endless for this blanket. Have fun!
