Sunny days, Oh, sunny, sunny, sunny days! Well, they’re not quite here yet, so here is a way to bring some of that sunshine into your life by crocheting a warmly colored, sun-themed project designed by Tatsiana.
What Makes This Crochet Blanket Project Unique?
The Sunny Blanket is a beautiful, multi-hued pattern evocative of Latin American designs. The absolutely gorgeous central Sol is placed on a rich background that includes stripes, stipples and squares. Each square also has its own solar theme, giving it a complete and finished look.
Is Overlay Crochet Difficult?
At first, overlay crochet might seem a bit intimidating, but with practice, it turns into a fun and handy technique. It involves making front post stitches on a flat fabric to create raised patterns. If you can work in the round and know how to do post stitches, overlay crochet is sure to add incredible depth to your projects.
Choosing the Right Yarn for the Sunny Blanket
This square crochet blanket pattern was originally made using Scheepjes Stone Washed and Scheepjes Color Crafter yarns. These yarns are ideal for blankets that get a lot of use since they are both soft and durable.
If you’re thinking of using different yarns, go for premium DK weight yarns that show off stitch details nicely. Blends of cotton, wool, and acrylic work well too—you can choose based on how warm or soft you want the blanket to be.
This design looks best when in contrasting colors that make those textured overlay patterns pop out.
