Crocheted Rectangle Blanket Ideas

We’ve done square blankets, we’ve done square-based blankets, so et’s vary it up a bit. Here are some crocheted rectangle blanket ideas that will have you a-hooking away merrily.

The resulting blankets are beautiful, highly decorative and so much fun to make. These are all the more enjoyable since they are not layouts of repeating blocks, but are composed of large, continuous surfaces. Moreover, they show that a single pattern still gives you a lot of room for variety and modification.

This blanket is a somewhat difficult but still feasible pattern. It has a lovely, dense and defining center. Moreover, the varied bands of stitching have a series of voids defining its texture. However, the use of subtle color changes is what really breathes life into the final project. Although not the easiest pattern, it’s still eminently doable. Therefore, this will be a wonderful accent for your home, or much cherished heirloom.
