If you can crochet double crochets, then you can make this blanket. I used Red Heart Baby Econo yarn. 1 skein of each color: Yummy varigated for center and trim 1 skein of purple, blue, mint green, and yellow V-st = 1dc-ch2-1dc double V-st = 2dc-ch2 2dc ch = chain sl st = slip stitch dc = double crochet dec = combine 2 sts together (dec next 4 sts means combine 2 st together + next 2 sts together so that 4 sts become 2 sts)

I used Red Heart Baby Econo yarn. 1 skein of each color: Yummy varigated for center and trim 1 skein of purple, blue, mint green, and yellow V-st = 1dc-ch2-1dc double V-st = 2dc-ch2 2dc ch = chain sl st = slip stitch dc = double crochet dec = combine 2 sts together (dec next 4 sts means combine 2 st together + next 2 sts together so that 4 sts become 2 sts)
Using 2 strands of yarn together, you will be changing them for every step. Step 1 calls for 1 purple and 1 varigated. Rnd 1. ch 4, join with sl st to form a ring. ch 3, (ch 3 always counts as first dc) 11 dc into ring. Join with sl st at top of ch 3.(12 dc) Rnd 2. ch 3, 1dc in same st, 2dc in each st around, join.(24 dc) Rnd 3: ch 3, *skip next st, v-st in next st. repeat from * ending with 1 dc in same sp as ch 3, ch 2,this completes the last V-st. sl st to join. (12 v-st) Rnd 4: sl st into the ch 2 space, ch 3, 1 dc-ch 2-2 dc in same sp, * double v-st in next 2ch sp* repeat * * around. join. (this row begins your points). (12 double v-st)
Step 2 will have 2 of the purple strands together. Rnd 5: sl st into next 2 ch sp, ch 3, 1 dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, *dec next 4 sts, double v-st in the next ch 2 sp* repeat from * * around. join. (12 double v-st, 24 dec st) Rnd 6: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, ch 2-1 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next st, dec next 4 st, 1 dc in next st. *v-st in next ch 2 sp, 1dc in next st, dec in next 4 st, dc in next st*, repeat * * around, join to 3rd ch. Rnd 7: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 2 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 2 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 2 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 2 sts*, repeat * * around, join
Step 3 has 1 purple and 1 blue strand together. Rnd 8: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 3 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 3 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 3 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 3 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 9: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, ch 2-1 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 3 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 3 sts. * V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 3 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 3 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 10: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, ch 2-1 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 3 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 3 sts. * V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 3 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 3 sts*, repeat * * around, join

Rnd 11 sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 4 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 4 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 4 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 4 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 12: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 5 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 5 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 5 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 5 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 13: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, ch 2-1 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 5 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 5 sts. *V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 5 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 5 sts*, repeat * * around, join
Step 5 has 1 blue and 1 green strands of yarn. Rnd 14: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 6 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 6 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 6 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 6 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 15: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 7 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 7 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 7 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 7 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 16: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 7 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 7 sts. *V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 7 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 7 sts*, repeat * * around, join
Step 6 has 2 green strands of yarn. Rnd 17: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 8 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 8 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 8 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 8 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 18: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 9 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 9 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 9 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 9 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 19: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 9 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 9 sts. *V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 9 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 9 sts*, repeat * * around, join
Step 7 has 1 green and 1 yellow strands of yarn. Rnd 20: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 10 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 10 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 10 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 10 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 21: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 11 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 11 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 11 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 11 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 22: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 11 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 11 sts. *V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 11 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 11 sts*, repeat * * around, join
Step 8 has 2 yellow strands of yarn. Rnd 23: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 12 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 12 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 12 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 12 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 24: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, 1dc-ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 13 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 13 sts. * double V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 13 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 13 sts*, repeat * * around, join Rnd 25: sl st into next ch 2 sp, ch 3, ch 2-2 dc in same ch 2 sp, 1 dc in next 13 sts, dec next 4 sts, dc in next 13 sts. *V-st in next ch 2 space, 1 dc in next 13 sts, dec in next 4 sts, 1 dc in next 13 sts*, repeat * * around, join
Join anywhere with varigated yarn. *Ch 7, sk 3 sts, sc in the 4th st* repeat * * around. Last loop even out as much as possible to 7 ch and join same st as beginning ch. Do not join off.
While holding the finished loop from step 9 forward, make 2 sl st to middle st of row 25, ch 7, sk 3 st and sc in 4th st in middle of next set of stitches while this loop is held backwards. For the next ch7, hold the next finished loop forwards again and then attach to the middle st with a sc. Keep holding the loops front and back to give it a weave look. join and you are finished!
