Diagonal Stone Blanket

"Diagonal Stone Blanket is worked diagonally from one corner of the blanket to the opposite corner to create an interesting stripe pattern. It’s amazingly versatile and relatively easy to make. This blanket will go great with any color scheme, and will add a bit of charm and modern look to your bed or couch. This pattern is written for a throw/afghan size, but is easily adaptable to other sizes. Feel free to follow what I’ve done or to make yours as small or as large as you’d like. Although crocheting this diagonal crochet blanket was time-consuming, the finished result is superb."
