I called this Comfort Glow because of how the orange appears against the other colours and its a cosy little lapghan blanket! This blanket is made with 20 squares which are 23x23cm (9x9in) using a 4mm hook and a DK yarn.

The pattern would suit any DK but I made mine in acrylic Stylecraft Special DK. My goal was to use crochet stitches that give both a subtle pattern effect and also a striking texture, such as the spike front post trebles.

I have given a finished size 102x125cm (40x49in) but size is not critical because you can add more squares for a bigger blanket.

The colours Ive picked create tonal and contrasting effects. My advice when picking your colours is that colours A & B have a good contrast and C & D are closer in hue. This way, youll get a similar visual result to my version.

Skill Level: Intermediate level of skill is needed as a knowledge of special stitches (written instructions are given for these) is required however, an advanced beginner could make this too.

Please note that this pattern is written in UK terms. There are detailed written instructions with some photo tutorials plus a video link for joining the squares when you come to the horizontal.
