I was so worried, when I started this blanket, that the colors were not going to look very good together but as I continued I started loving it!
I love doing a giant granny square blankets. They make up super fast and are super easy! Definitely a good pattern for a beginner.
I used Mango and Turquoise I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby. It ended up being approximately 31 1/2" square. I did a simple border - 2 rounds of single crochet.
