Rainforest Patchwork Squares Blanket

"This is a free pattern for this beautifully simple modern crochet patchwork-style blanket/throw. Written pattern and photo guide, with a link to a video demonstrating the joining technique. Perfect pattern to use up that yarn stash. This blanket is worked in vertical strips. You start with making the first strip and then you add subsequent strips whilst joining to the previous strip as you go along. Each vertical strip is worked in 12 colour blocks, each made up of 14 rows. Yarn used was Stylecraft DK and 4mm. Sizing is easily adaptable to bigger or smaller projects.
