American Pride Granny Square Blanket
"This blanket is a wonderful way to show your American Pride. Display and use this blanket for Memorial Day, July fourth, Flag Day, or Veterans Day. You could make this and give it as a gift to a veteran. I know I will be making more. This could be smaller too. Just stop on the round that is a good size for you. More of a lap afghan. The beauty of this pattern, is that you can make it as big or small as you would like to. This granny square blanket is just great for a beginner at crochet. "
