Notes:
This washcloth pattern would also make a great blanket square! If you changed to 4.5mm needles and made four of these squares a month, by the end of the year you would have enough for a blanket! You could then do two borders, like in the washcloth pattern, and the result would be a gorgeous abstract blanket!
