Tips
- To create a pumpkin patch effect, alternate colors every few rows or create individual pumpkin shapes and sew them onto a solid background.
- Crochet a gauge swatch to ensure your finished blanket matches the intended size.
- For a larger blanket, increase the initial chain count and work more rows. Maintain an even number of stitches for a symmetrical design.
