Autumn Dragonfly

Flight of the dragonfly through the swirling twirling tumble of autumnal leaves. The perfect blanket to bring out as temperatures start to cool.

Dragons, crochet and excel spreadsheets are some of my favourite things so I love to bring them together to design blanket patterns and then crochet them. Sometimes pictures other than dragons appear too.

I hope you enjoy making this blanket as much as I did and I would love to see your versions.

Difficulty level is medium

This is a chart based pattern only.

There are several special stitches that have additional instructions and videos you can follow to help learn them.
