Dragon Scale Crochet Baby Blanket

This Dragon Scale Crochet Baby Blanket is an incredibly textured, award-winning afghan made in a combination of regular crochet and Tunisian crochet. Similar to Crochet Entrelac, this baby afghan is made in a unique, continuous mitered square repeat. Unlike Tunisian crochet you typically find, you will NOT need to use a long hook. Since each mitered square is a maximum of only 9 stitches, a standard hook can be used.
