Both Caron 1 Pound Yarns (blue and tan) can be bought at 40% off from Michaels using their coupon. $5.40 each then I got a skein of Red Heart for the white border, and to sew it together.
30 Squares of 2 rows of Blue / 2 rows of Tan / 2 rows of Blue finish with white
10 Squares of 2 rows of Tan / 2 rows of Blue / 2 rows of Tan finish with white

| Blanket Diagram |
I
did this diagram to play around with the design. I just took a picture of the 2 granny squares and copied and pasted them into my graphic software. I had more tan yarn then blue yarn so I used this design.
I had more Tan yarn then Blue yarn, since I used it for another project, so I only had enough for
10 blue/tan/blue combos.
I always like to know what it's going to look like
