FREE easy crochet blanket pattern: WAVES blanket

This very easy crochet blanket pattern is not only fast to knit, but also a great way to bust your leftover yarn stash. I’ve made several of these blankets to give away as presents. And some for my dog too!

The entire pattern is available for free below, using US and UK terminology. And, in case you want to contribute to my work, you can also find the downloadable PDF pattern for sale in my stores (Etsy, Ravelry and here in my website).

Let’s go to the pattern!
