Enchanted Garden Blanket Section 2

Welcome back!  I hope you enjoyed the quick Section 1 crochet time last week for the Enchanted Garden Blanket.  Section 2 is another fast and easy crochet section as we will simply be squaring off our center diamond. It is worked using a combination of basic stitches again and should be easy for you to follow along the written instructions below. 

If you learn better through video, scroll to the bottom of this post for the full video tutorial of rounds 16-21
