🧶 Gradient Square Blanket — PDF Crochet Pattern

- Worked outward from a small central square • Concentric square rounds • Dense textured block stitch • Colour-gradient design • Naturally stepped edge, no border to add • Instant digital download

It starts with one small square in the middle and grows outward, round after round, each ring of colour stepping into the next. The surface is built from small offset blocks that catch the light like weaving, and the gradient repeats in cycles so the whole blanket seems to ripple from the centre. Dense, warm, heavy in the hands — the kind of blanket that ends up on the same sofa for twenty years ✨

📏 FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Because the blanket is worked outward from the centre, you control the finished size — stop at any round for a lap blanket, keep going for a throw, keep going further for a bed cover. The finished measurements of the sample, and the size gained per round, are given in the pattern.

🧶 YARN & HOOK REQUIREMENTS
Full yarn requirements, quantity per shade, hook size and gauge are listed in the pattern. The design is written for a smooth matte cotton yarn in a graduated run of shades — the sample uses a blue-green sequence running from deep navy through teal, petrol, turquoise, sky blue and aqua to pale sea green and lime-cream.

The colour sequence repeats in cycles as the blanket grows, with the darkest shade marking the start of each cycle — that repeat is what creates the rippling bands, and it's the one thing worth planning before you start.
