secret garden blanket crochet pattern rounds 9-13

Are you ready for a little more texture in the Secret Garden Blanket?
The Waffle crochet stitch is so easy to do and creates a wonderful texture for any project.  It's not a stitch that I use often, so I had to add it in here for a little more fun.  
It is such a simple stitch to remember when you're working it in straight rows.  Working it in rounds, you need to watch the corners to maintain the correct stitch count.  Hopefully, I've made this easy for you to follow and even work into your own projects in the future!
