Secret Garden Blanket Crochet Pattern Rounds 42-45

Secret Garden Blanket crochet pattern

We are working rounds 42-45 of the Secret Garden Blanket crochet pattern this week.  It seems like it would be a small section of the CAL with just 4 rounds but we're working some taller stitches to give this a fun X stitch across the blanket.  We'll be working "In Front of" and "Behind" stitches so be sure to watch the written instructions so your pattern shows through properly.

And there you have it!  Another fun stitch to work and another week down in our Crochet-A-Long.  Next week, we'll be working the slanted shell section.  This will be the final section prior to working the border.  For this, you could work a single color, 2 colors, 3 colors, 4 colors...  depending on how solid or striped you want your outer edge.  Take a few minutes to think through how you want this set up before we start next week.
