That's great. For ease of use, I can access the pattern above and not open an external link. I cannot believe how easy it looks to make. They came up with the perfect name for it, too. It is the perfect car blanket or picnic blanket. It is a nice size, not too small, just enough to lay on the grass and chill -)
