How It’s Made – Construction Overview
This blanket is constructed from three distinct motif types:
✧ Octagon Motifs
The centerpiece of the design. These motifs showcase rich textures, including double trebles, shells, and front post stitches. A final border rounds off each shape into a true octagon, resembling decorative tiles.
✧ Square Motifs
Filling the gaps between octagons, these squares provide structure and visual balance. They’re worked from the center outward using simple double crochets and chain spaces.
✧ Triangle Motifs
Used along the edges, triangle motifs complete the rectangular shape of the blanket. They’re worked in tapered rows to form smooth transitions from the octagonal sections.
Once all motifs are completed, they are joined using a flat slip stitch join or whip stitch. Finish with a decorative border of your choice for a polished, cohesive look.
