This winter has been very cold and snowy, and I wanted a project that felt comforting from the very first stitch. I chose to make myself a lap blanket I could snuggle under while working or relaxing in the evenings. The Endless Comfort Square Blanket was designed to be warm, soothing to crochet, and easy to customize, making it the perfect gift to myself and my contribution to the Gift to Myself CAL.

Notes:
- Ch 3 counts as 1 dc.
- Initial ch 2 does not count as a stitch. We use it to skip over the first 2 sts of each round before we slip stitch into the first ch1sp.
- Sl st to join is made in the first st of the round.
- This pattern was written without color changes. I chose an ombre yarn to make my blanket.
- If you are making this in multiple colors, finish off at the end of each round, turn your work and join the new color of yarn using a slip stitch join in the first ch1sp (the one beside your slip stitch join). You may carry your yarn or use an alternate method to change colors if you prefer.
- From Rnd 3 to the Edging Rnd, skip all stitches not mentioned.
- Extra photos follow the written pattern.

Crocheters Often Ask
You can use a different yarn weight, but your finished size and yardage will change. Start with the hook size listed on your yarn label. If your project begins to cup after Round 2, switch to a larger hook size so it lays flat.

Hi 🙂 I will try to make time to write this up as a rectangle blanket soon. Thank you for letting me know you were interested 🙂
Any suggestions on how somebody could make this into a rectangular blanket instead of a square? Maybe make two center motifs and join them together before starting the rounds? Would this really mess up the stitch count on the long sides?
thanks for any help/tips –
