It’s not all colors with crocheting. Indeed, textures are just as important. Thus, here are some texture-forward patterns with blanket ideas to help enhance your tactile experience. All of these patterns feature a lovely, attractive design with a sensual and very visible texture.
It’s no wonder that these stitches are considered some of the most most beautiful. So, are you looking for an amazing texture blanket for your next crochet project? We know you are, and therefore here are tutorials for one of the most eye-catching stitches: bobble and braided stitch. Indeed, both of them are extremely useful, so that when you master them you can add them to almost any project, or use them to make a blanket or winter hat. Moreover, they are also quite easy, so you can really practice making different surfaces. Consequently, you can experiment with various stitches, yarn weights as well as colors to produce pieces that are a joy to the eyes and the hands. Of course, the latter is so important in baby blankets where touch is a young one’s first exploratory sense. Not to mention all these crochet patterns are also very customizable, so that they can really match any project ideally.
Bobble Stitch Blanket Tutorial
Overall, the bobble stitch blanket is probably the ultimate crochet textured blanket. Undoubtedly, this texture works best with the appropriate color selection.

Pulled Taffy Baby Blanket
Who doesn’t love pulled taffy candy, a childhood memory for so many of us? Well. Here are some blankets that are inspired by this trip down memory lane. While this blanket is designed to be a baby blanket, it can easily be adjusted up to any size needed. Moreover, the rich, variegated texture will be pleasant to hold in your hand, but it will be a veritable panoply of textures for your baby to explore and play with. More than that, this is a relatively easy pattern that works up quickly and allows you to make adjustments in terms of the colors you use. Crochet this for a bit of childhood nostalgia.

Easy Bean Stitch
Why is it called the bean stitch? Probably because it fundamentally sort of resembles a bean… a reclining one. It’s a cousin of the puff stitch, however, it’s not worked up quite the same. As above, it leans to one side. When worked in columns, it makes a rotating crisscross. I have decided on looping the rows in this cowl, turns or switches. It all simply all inclines one way, making it look like the rows slant. Fun, isn’t?

Textured Puff Stitch Blanket
However, this guest throw is a slightly different take on this theme. To wit, it’s thicker and bulkier, giving it a lovely drape and amazing warmth. Thus, it’s perfect for the cottage.
