There is a video tutorial on the tips and tricks of changing colors for this square.The Double the Love Baby Blanket is double thick, super plus, and reversible for two different looks – and it’s a free crochet pattern here on Moogly!ĭisclaimer: This post includes affiliate links Lion Brand provided the yarn for this pattern. Therefore we’ll call the overall technique used in this block intarsia crochet.īecause it uses the intarsia color changing technique, it is reversible - the image looks the same on both the front and back side. Although there isn’t a formal word for working with blocks of color in crochet, it is very similar to intarsia knitting. And those blankets are sometimes called a graphghan (graph + afghan). The techniques used in this square can apply to making any other crochet item, such as a picture afghan. It’s a good way to practice following a graph or chart.
