Happy Friday Friends! Its that time again! Freebie Friday! This weeks free crochet pattern is the Navajo Blanket pattern. This pattern uses the treble (aka triple) crochet stitch and back and front post stitches. Its not as hard as it may sound though. The edging is a shell stitch and gives it that perfect finishing touch. I made this blanket in a light worsted weight yarn but it can also be made in a thicker (or thinner) yarn. You could also make this blanket in solid colors and make your own color changes! The finished measurements when using a light worsted weight yarn and size H crochet hook are 50x34 inches.
