Every little frog needs a lily pad to hang out on in the pond and the possibilities with the Lily Pad Blanket are endless. This project uses simple crochet stitches to make the Lily Pad Blanket and is a great beginner project to work on working in the round and increasing. The Lily Pad Blanket could be made in any shade of green and you can add as many flowers as you like!
