Here is an EASY and fun corner to corner style blanket that is worked in diagonal rows to build a square or rectangle. This is a perfect pattern for baby blankets or temperature blankets (where you change colors to reflect the colors and seasons in your region). If you're looking for a project to use a favorite variegated yarn, this is it -- it shows off the transitions of colors beautifully!
