Who Is This Winter Crochet Blanket Best Suited For?
This handmade winter blanket project is suitable for advanced crocheters and those who are looking for a new crafting challenge. The project uses overlay mosaic, which is a crochet colorwork technique that alternates between different yarn colors to create beautiful graphic motifs. The designer also provides a quick video guide explaining this crochet method for extra help.
How Does The Green Ombre Yarn Enhance The Tree Motifs?
The blanket is made from two types of yarn. Plain white yarn was used for the background, while green ombre yarn serves to create the tree motifs and details on the edges. Thanks to gradient yarn, such as Red Heart Super Saver Ombre, the evergreen tree motifs look as if they’ve been dusted with snow, resulting in a magical winter-themed design.
How Much Green And White Yarn Will You Need?
To complete this blanket, you will need 1257 yards of aran-weight yarn in white and 1446 yards of ombre yarn in green. The designer used four balls of Red Heart Super Saver (Solids) for the background and three balls of Red Heart Super Saver Ombre for the mosaic motifs. With this amount of yarn, you will create a blanket measuring 48″ x 64″.
