If you’re after a cozy, modern blanket, the Lakeside Throw Crochet Pattern by Christine Blue will win your heart! With a two-colored geometric design featuring elegant diamond motifs, it will make an eye-catching addition to any interior. Every corner of the blanket is adorned with a cute tassel for added interest. Thanks to its chunky fabric, this handmade throw will not only look beautiful draped over your sofa but also keep you cozy while chilling out at home.
What Crochet Techniques Do I Need to Know?
To bring this geometric crochet blanket to life, you should already know the tapestry crochet technique and some basic stitches. The pattern involves working with two colors at the same time while following a color graph. You start crocheting it with a foundation chain and then work the rest of the blanket in the herringbone half double crochet stitch.
What Yarn Should I Choose for the Lakeside Throw Pattern?
Opt for 100% acrylic bulky-weight yarn if you want your blanket to have a delightful squish and softness. You can get the same yarn the designer used to make the sample seen in the photos or stick to your own choice.
The Knit Picks Brava Bulky is a hard-wearing yarn with a chunky feel, perfect for creating a warm fall-to-winter blanket. You will need about 6 skeins in White (816 yards, 600 grams) and 7 skeins in Solstice Heather (952 yards, 700 grams).
How Big Is the Finished Crochet Blanket?
The Lakeside Throw measures approx. 54” in length and 37” in width as long as it’s made with bulky-weight yarn and a 6.5 mm crochet hook. Its final dimensions may also vary depending on your tension. It’s a small-sized blanket that will work perfectly as a lap blanket or a sofa throw, adding warmth and comfort to your everyday life.
