Crayon Blanket

Crayon afghan free crochet pattern Notes
I made this for Benjamin when he was quite small. He saw a picture of one and had a 10p coin in his hand ready for me to buy him one.
I found my notes while I was looking through all the half written patterns I have on the computer, so wrote it up quickly.
I haven't tested it but I have altered any mistakes found by people who have made it. If you should find any more, please let me know.

Tension:
I didn’t measure this when I made it but after numerous washes, the tension is 15 sts and 12 rows to 10 cm.
Each crayon measures about 18 cm wide and 85 cm long.

You will need:
2 x 100g balls of DK yarn in black and one of each in 6 different bright colours, 4.00 mm hook, tapestry needle for sewing in ends.
