Afghans and Blankets
For this project you will need: HOOK: 5 mm hook or size H hook for the US YARN: All the scrap yarn colors were worsted weight yarn 4 ply US, 10 ply AU Also the Off white color I used in between as well. I was able to get 10 rows of Off white before I had to change to a new skein. I used 2 and a 1/2 skeins of it, but I didn’t make a border. If you wish to, then I would grab a third. I didn’t want to use much of this color because it's a scrap yarn afghan and don't want you to have to go get more yarn. About the color pattern Since this pattern uses scrap yarn, I won't be telling you which colors to use. I used this color wheel to help me organize my color choices. I've never been a fan of the mixed color of scrap yarn afghans so I decided to do mine in a more organized fashion starting with my Maroons, Reds, Oranges, Browns, Yellows, Golds, Greens, Blues, Purples, Pinks and back to the beginning of the color list. Feel free to go with what feels right to you. This Jagged Scrap yarn afghan is made using a stitch I discovered while playing around with yarn. I don't know why all my discovered stitches mostly use two stitches to create and this one is no different. Lol. But other than the butterfly stitch this one is surely the most easiest one to recreate! Let me take you step by step on how to make this stitch so you can use it in making your own scrap yarn afghan to use up some of your left over wool.

No Beginning Chain Basket Throw
Afghans and Blankets
Work up something new with this No Beginning Chain Basket Throw. Even though it uses bulky yarn, it's light for summer because of the chainless crochet. I bet this is one of the easy crochet blanket patterns that you've never tried before, because it's not like the rest of them. You don't start off with a typical chain stitch- you actually do the opposite! Find out what it means to make a crochet blanket with no beginning by following this tutorial.
Color Wheel Blanket Crochet Pattern
Afghans and Blankets
The color wheel blanket is a festivity of color! You can choose your own color scheme or go wild with all the leftovers you still have. Either way, you'll have a wonderful blanket to show for all the hard work. Stitches used in this pattern are chain, slip stitch, bobble stitch, double crochet 4 together, and double crochet. The motifs measure approximately 13 cm when joined, so you can make the blanket pretty much any size you want. For this blanket I came up with a semi-randomized color sequence to get that great rainbow feel, which I highly recommend trying.
Oh My Blanket Free Crochet Pattern
Afghans and Blankets
"I went with blues and taupe for a beachy feel, something I have been craving during this cold. But you can use as many or few colors as you like to create your own custom palette. And when you carry the yarn along the side, covering it up later with the border, you don't end up with a ton of ends to weave in either! Shown in the pattern is the throw size, but stitch and row counts are included for Baby to California King!"
Margot Baby Blanket Free Crochet Pattern
Afghans and Blankets
"With the Margot Baby Blanket i found a crochet stitch which is actually a filet crochet stitch pattern and then i integrated a border seamlessly so you just crochet the border on both sides of the blanket as you are crocheting along which automatically gives it a finish look, how easy is that! On the top and bottom of the blanket i didn’t put any border on as i actually quite liked it already and felt it didn’t need a border but you can add a border if you wish. This crochet blanket pattern is suitable for a beginner."
