Merry Go Round Crochet Blanket
The Merry-Go-Round blanket is a lovely design that is perfect to show off the beautiful color changes in ombre yarn, such as yarn cakes and self striping yarn. Like a Merry-Go-Round, this patterns rounds go around and around, worked in continuous spirals without joining. The repetitive pattern is both fun and therapeutic to crochet, and easy to get a hang of in just a few rounds. The size of the blanket can easily be adjusted to be however large or small as you'd like, depending on how much yarn you use.
Tried and True Beginner Blanket
I have been teaching beginners (read: novice/first time crocheters) to crochet for a couple of years. My favorite projects are any that include a super bulky yarn and a 15 mm hook. Why? These projects can be started and finished in one class and the beginner can leave with a hat on their head (or a cowl around their neck). I designed this blanket with the true beginner in mind. Maybe you took a class, or a friend taught you the single crochet. You've made a stack of hats, but you want more! This is the project for you. You will learn the four basic stitches and how to work in rows (working in rows is a beginner skill, but I don't like teaching it for a first time crocheter). I have added notes here and there to help guide you and give you an understanding on the basics of pattern-reading. I have also included a full photo tutorial for each stitch to help you along your way.
Winter Woven Throw
This crochet throw blanket features a woven classic texture that will be treasured for years to come. The stitch used is sometimes referred to as a twisted stitch because of its twisted and women appearance. This blanket is crocheted using a super bulky weight yarn. It is shown in Lion Brand Thick and Quick. You will also need 10 mm crochet hook. Each of the shorter ends of the blanket are finished off with a fringe.
Twisted Grid Chunky Crochet Blanket Pattern
Featuring 2 colorful shades of chunky yarn gives this crochet blanket a gorgeous marbled effect. Stitched in 7 panels of alternating textures and colors, this seamed blanket is irresistibly thick and cozy.
This project works up quickly using front and back post double crochet and half double crochet through the third loop. Customize the pattern with any 2 colors, or even increase the size by adding more panels.
