The Orbs Blanket crochet pattern by Jeanne Steinhilber strikes a balance between beautiful color transitions and intricate techniques. If you’d like to add a gorgeous handmade throw with a cozy, vibrant energy to your home, this project captives with its unique design!
How to Select Yarn for the Orb Effect
The yarn choice for this crochet blanket project is crucial to bringing out the orb-like shimmer. Caron Blossom Cakes cotton-acrylic blend is the perfect option for achieving fabulous color gradients and nice drapes.
Any medium-weight, self-striping yarn can work well, but those with smooth color transitions provide the best results.
Crocheting a Beautiful Orbs Blanket
This square blanket crochet pattern will suit intermediate to advanced crocheters. It uses post stitches, treble crochets, and cross stitches, which makes this project more interesting than it already is. The blanket can be easily adjusted to a baby blanket or full-sized bedspread throw.
Creative Uses for Your Crochet Blanket
No matter how it is draped — a couch, the back of a reading chair, or even used decoratively on a bed — the Orbs Blanket will add some serious charm. Its striking color shifts make it a great focal piece that will bring warmth and artistry to modern and traditional decor alike.
