This is a written pattern with photos and graphs.
This pattern is comprised of basic stitches and several special stitches. It uses my very own original stitch combination to produce a unique dragonfly that is specific to Auburncraft Crochet Design.
It has a simple pattern repeat. The main border is slightly more challenging but you do have the option at stopping the blanket at the first section of border.
Many different yarns could be used for this design, but I used Scheepjes Whirl in Lavenderlicious and Whirlette in Grappa. (click here for Scheepjes Whirl)
My testers used several different colorways with incredible results.
