Luxuriant Blanket Free Crochet Patterns

Here is a lovely blanket with broad stripes and a luxuriant, thick structure, an almost syrupy drape. It’s a lovely project that will be cherished by anyone whose house it graces. It’s not a particularly difficult, but somewhat labor intensive pattern that produces a true classic crochet piece.
Of course, thick, stripy blankets come in many flavors, and the Simply Sweet Blanket is an example of an alternative take on this wonderful idea. In particular, the fact that the color stripes adjoin and create a more smooth-looking surface make it an interesting project to consider. A link to free patterns is included under the photos.
