Cozy up with the Winter Blossom Blanket! This wonderful crochet pattern will let you create a dreamily squishable layer to snuggle up with during the colder months. It’s built from large granny squares with contrasting center motifs resembling flower blossoms, which add a sweet retro touch to its design. With an understated colorway featuring soothingly muted shades, this blanket will fit into every room.
Is This Granny Square Blanket Easy Enough For Beginners?
Yes, it is. Granny squares are a great starting point for beginners and those just entering the crochet world. Moreover, this blanket can be made on the go, meaning you create the squares separately and once you have all pieces ready, you join them together. This way, you can enjoy the process of creating your own blanket from anywhere and at any time – whether traveling, sitting in a park, or relaxing at home.
What Is The Size Of Each Individual Granny Square?
This crochet winter blanket from CJ Design is constructed from oversized granny squares, each measuring 9” x 9” (23 x 23 cm). To make an afghan blanket that’s 66” long and 57” (with a border), you will need 42 pieces. By adding or reducing the number of granny square panels, you can easily adjust the measurements of your blanket to a desired size.
What Type of Yarn Do I Need to Crochet This Blanket?
The pattern calls for super bulky chenille yarn that boasts an incredibly soft feel and chunky texture. A fantastic choice for this project is Bernat Blanket yarn. It’s available in a wide palette of colors, so you’re sure to find shades that suit your taste.
