FibonacciBaby Blanketoyestale
This simple but striking blanket isbased on the granny square Instead of multiple granny squares put together, i is one giant granny square. The nature of the granny square makesit poible to apply the Fibonacci sequence in infinite ways to make your blanket unique. Try it and see how fun it can be!

NOTEs: The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical sequence that is found in nature. It is naturaly appealing to the human eye and is therefore used in many designs and art. It is as follows: 0, 1, 1. 2,3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc. The following number is the result of adding the two previous numbers. It can go to infinity. Here, I have started the blanket with 3 rounds, then 2, 1, 2, 3, 5,8, 5, 3, 2, 1. As you can see, you can go up and down the sequence in any combination you want as long as you keep the sequence. You may also use any color sequence you like. CARE: Wash in warm water ingentlecycle. Dry on medium. High heat inthe dryer wil scorch the fabric.
