Do you have tons of leftovers? Why not turn some of it into a beautiful blanket? Free video tutorial! You make your blanket as big or small as you want. This is a beginner friendly project. I used yarn from different brands, but made sure not to mix cotton yarn with wool. My blanket took a couple of weeks to finish and I tried to use matching colors. I hope that you like this tutorial!

TagsTried 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.
C2C Bunny Blanket
A perfect project for C2C lovers, so be sure to try it. C2C Bunny motif will be perfect as the Easter project, but if you use a neutral colors, it will be nice blanket for a baby shower gift or all year round home decor. A beginners with C2C stitch can make the entire bunny in a solid color to make it easier.

Diamond Quilt C2c Graphgan
The Diamond Quilt C2C Graphgan is a crochet pixel blanket pattern with a modern look that features (almost) all the colors of Caron Little Crafties! Or you can use all those special odds and ends of your favorite colors and remember your favorite past projects - like a real quilt! Of course, I also needed a background yarn - and Caron Simply Soft is the perfect yarn to combine with the Little Crafties! I chose white, but I think this blanket would be amazing with black or gray as the backdrop for the diamonds. Just switch out the black or gray diamonds with the white Little Crafties skein! Both written instructions and a graph are included. I tried to match the colors in the graph to the actual yarn colors and create a random-ish arrangement, but of course, you can rearrange these colors however you like!
