The beautiful design features the popular crochet popcorn stitch throughout the pattern, giving the blanket an eye-catching look that you will love. This blanket is light enough to be used during your afternoon nap on your favorite couch or while reading a book. This crochet blanket can also be folded up and stashed inside your car trunk for use on a picnic. Consider crocheting a blanket or two to keep on hand for last-minute gifts for family and friends!

Little Couch Potato Siesta Blanket
This Little Couch Potato Siesta Blanket was crocheted over the course of one weekend (at a relaxed pace), with 3 cakes of Pool Party Bernat Blanket Stripes yarn. The yarn was easy to work with and except for the final row of the project I let the colors come out of the yarn cake as they were dyed. The last row I removed a small section in the dark blue in order to use the next color in the ball to complete the final 2 rows in the same color. Two separate colors over the final 2 rows did not fit with the flow of the rest of the blanket. So if you end up in a similar place after you reach row 50 consider cutting out a small section and allowing the next section to take it's place to make the blanket color flow a bit more smoothly. This was a very relaxed and simple project to crochet. I love the striped effect created by the yarn and not having to sew in a bunch of yarn ends! Great for gifts, baby showers, children, floor blankets and cuddle time! Drew's finished blanket measures 40 inches wide and 36 inches long. The stitch multiple is 2+1 so you can create this to any size you wish easily.
Granny Square Picnic Blanket
The Granny Square Kid’s picnic blanket is just the pattern to create a cute, snuggly blanket that you can use so many ways. Toss it over the back of an armchair for decorative purposes, bring it out for a picnic, or, like the name says - give it to your kids. You make this pattern by working in squares, which makes it a fun project to take with you on the go. You don't have to carry the whole blanket with you, but can carry it in squares until you're ready to work all the squares together into the finished project.
