Easy Football Field Crochet Blanket

What kind of blanket do you make for a little boy who only likes the color green and really loves football? An Easy Football Field Crochet Blanket of course

It also helped that green and white are colors for the Philadelphia Eagles, his favorite team. I was initially inspired by this cool Football Field C2C pattern but it wouldn’t work with my thicker blanket yarn. I also didn’t want the football part. Then I found this beautiful Football Field Blanket but it had too many colors and was just an image, no pattern. So, I ended up designing my own pattern as usual!
