What Hook and Yarn Do You Need?
For this winter blanket project, prepare 9 (125 g/skein) skeins of bulky-weight yarn. You can use Lion Brand Two of Wands Hue + Me, the same yarn the designer chose for the sample seen in the photos, or go for any other brand that you like. Pair it with an 8 mm crochet hook to create a cozy blanket measuring 40” x 48” when finished.
How Do I Crochet the Colorado Throw Blanket?
If you like working up simple and relaxing blanket patterns, this project is for you. It’s worked in rows from the bottom up using basic and post stitches to produce a unique textural effect. Once the main body is ready, you will add a plain single crochet border for added stability and a nice polished look.
Can I Adjust the Size of My Crochet Blanket?
Yes, you can. To do so, you will need to slightly modify the pattern. Adjust the number of stitches in the foundation chain to change the width of your blanket. Just remember to work an even number of stitches. And to give your project more length, simply continue working more rows until it reaches a desired size.
