PATTERN NOTES
This blanket is knit by creating individual squares of each stitch pattern that are then seamed together to create the full piece using a crochet flat slip stitch seam. A border is picked up and worked on each side of the blanket after seaming, and then the corners of the borders are joined with the crochet flat slip stitch seam method.
