Very pretty and not difficult
I love this pattern. I am making blankets for my two little ones and I love the granny squares because you can easily put them down if a kid starts yelling, and pick it right up again with no problem. They're fast, and the color wheel idea makes them really lovely! I didnt have the space to lay the yarn all out, so i cut off a bit of each color, and taped the down in a circle on a bit of cardboard, so that I could easily reference that, to pick my colors for each square. I let my daughter chose the connecting colors.
