Yarn with a Wow Factor
To make this crochet square blanket pattern shine, go for a self-striping yarn like Caron Chunky Cakes. This super bulky cake yarn features a fabulous color gradient with which you simply can’t go wrong!
It’s a great way to achieve an outstanding colorway without dealing with changing yarns or weaving in loose ends. The acrylic fibers make it light and squashy despite its thick texture.
Stitches You Need To Know
This project is worked in the round with a clever shell stitch pattern repeat. Despite its intricate look, it’s not very complicated once you get the hang of it.
If you know basic stitches well, it will be a breeze for you to complete this blanket project!
How to Keep Your Edges Straight and Square
Struggling with uneven and lopsided edges in your blanket projects? If you want them to be straight and clean, make sure that you keep the right count of your stitches after finishing every row/round. The edges might also curl when your tension is inconsistent or too tight.
Finally, don’t forget to block your finished blanket to even out the stitches. This can also help smooth the edges and improve the general look of your project.
Crochet Blanket Pattern Easy to Resize
Would you like to make a throw, baby blanket, or bedspread? No problem! This pattern is very easy to adjust in terms of size. To increase the measurements of your blanket, continue working next rounds.
The original sample is approx 58” x 58” (147.5 cm), which already makes it a perfect decorative throw or baby blanket.
