Crocheting a blanket is not only a rewarding project but also a great way to improve your crochet skills. Whether you’re making it as a gift for a loved one or as a decorative piece for your home, this pattern will help you create something truly special. Let’s get started!
Classic Crochet Blanket
Materials Needed
Medium-weight cotton or acrylic yarn in white and mustard yellow
Crochet hook appropriate for the yarn thickness (4mm or 4.5mm are good options)
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Squares Used in the Blanket
This blanket consists of three different crochet squares:
- Simple Textured Square: Made using single crochet or half double crochet.
- Classic Granny Square: Made with groups of 3 double crochet stitches.
Simple Textured Square
Start with 25 chain stitches.
Begin in the second chain from the hook and work single crochet or half double crochet across.
Turn your work, chain one (for single crochet) or chain two (for half double crochet), and repeat the process until you have a square.
Cut the yarn and fasten off.
Classic Granny Square
Start with a magic ring and chain 3 (counts as a double crochet).
Work 2 double crochet stitches into the ring, followed by 2 chain stitches.
Repeat this pattern of “3 double crochets + 2 chain stitches” three more times.
Close the magic ring and join with a slip stitch in the third chain of the initial chain 3.
Continue the sequence in rounds, working 3 double crochets into each space and separating the corners with 2 chain stitches.
Continue until the square reaches the desired size.
Assembling the Blanket
Arrange the squares on a flat surface to decide on the layout.
Use the invisible seam method with a tapestry needle or join the squares using crochet.
First, sew the squares into rows, then join the rows together.
Decorative border
Work a round of single crochet stitches around the entire blanket to even out the edges.
Next, create a pattern of “1 double crochet, skip one stitch, 1 single crochet” to form a wavy effect.
Finish with a delicate crochet edging for a polished look.
Final Tips
Blocking the squares before assembling helps create a more uniform blanket.
Choose high-quality yarn for better durability.
Experiment with different color combinations to create unique designs!
Now grab your crochet hook and start making this beautiful blanket!
