The “Sebastian” Crochet Blanket — Free Pattern

This blanket is a little larger than many that I design.  It certainly can be used for a baby, but is a wonderful size for children and for adults as they sit in their favorite chair, watching tv.  It is made with a very easy stitch pattern called, “alternate double clusters”.  

I think you will love the finished blanket for yourself, your child or as a gift!  You will probably want to make many more than just one!!  Enjoy the pattern!!
