The button blanket uses a traditional color-on-pale-background square with some lovely voids to set a wonderful, multicolored background for buttons at the line intersections. The buttons surely give this blanket a tactile, jaunty surface that highlights its colorful backdrop.

Emma Square Blanket Free Crochet Pattern
The Emma square pattern is a similar idea, but the color runs right to the edge of the square, so that in a blanket, the colors would be immediately adjacent. This gives you the possibility of making very definite borders between squares of different colors, or a wonderful monochrome design. Of course, you can intersperse a different joining yarn for that grid square effect too. The link to the free pattern is under the photo.
