Essential Materials Required For This Project
Before you go full steam ahead with this crochet blanket project, make sure to use super bulky yarn and a 10 mm hook size.
Bernat Blanket and Bernat Blanket Twist are great options, offering a squishy chenille texture. With this type of yarn, you will produce an incredibly soft fabric, just perfect for a warm chunky blanket.
How Long Does It Take to Crochet This Blanket?
Compared to other crochet blanket projects, this pattern works up really quickly. Mostly because it’s made with super-thick yarn and a large crochet hook, which speeds up the whole process. The Alpine stitch pattern is very repetitive, too. Therefore, once you get the hang of it, you will be able to complete your blanket in no time.
How Do I Stop the Blanket from Curling?
If you notice that the edges of the blanket begin to curl during the work, make sure that you keep consistent tension. Crocheting too loosely or too tightly can cause the fabric to wrinkle. You might also consider lightly blocking the edges once you finish the blanket. This should help even them out and get the final shape.
