Tadley's Diagonal Blanket
"This double-ended crochet blanket looks great – but different – on both sides. It’s also crocheted on the bias, increasing towards the center and then decreasing until the end. After you reach the center point, each row is shorter than the one before it! This blanket is very lush and thick, and works equally well as a playmat in the spring or a stroller blanket in the winter. Gauge isn’t critical, and it can be easily resized (though you may need more or less yarn). Choose a flexible double-ended crochet hook or an interchangeable crochet hook with a long cord. (If you use an interchangeable hook but don’t have two hooks in the same size, you can always switch the positions of the hook and end cap at the beginning of each row where you slide loops and turn.)."
