Colorful Striped Crocheted Blankets

Ah! There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort.

~Jane Austen

Question: What does one do during quarantine and months of staying home in recovery from nerve damage?

Answer: One crochets🤣

Here are the colorful blankets I’m naming “Everything Blankets” I made for two of my kids. I’m starting a third soon.

This one is for Autumn. She wanted bright splashes of orange and bits of cream with pink the main theme. It reminds me of a sunset.

I made this one for my second to youngest boy. We used red for our main theme with blues, blacks, and yellows. I love the Native American look it has.

My neighbor gives me gobs of yarn she no longer needs which is really sweet! I love using up bits of this and that color to create gifts for my kids or whoever else I love.

Feel free to copy this pattern for your own but please don’t sell it.

Viv’s Everything Blanket

Supplys:

Size J 6.00MM hook

Worsted weight yarn in any color you want but choosing one specific color as your main theme.

Hint~You can throw in chunky yarns or yarns with different textures, basically “everything” works just not yarns that are too thin or wools.

Pattern:

● foundation: Using your main color theme and J hook chain 150 or as wide as you desire.

● row 1-3 with main color hdc in second chain from hook and in every chain to the end, chain 2, turn.

● rows 3-5 repeat rows 1-3 in complimenting color.

● rows 6-8 repeat rows 1-3 in new color.

● rows 9-11 repeat rows 1-3 in main color.

Continue repeating rows 1-11 until blanket reaches 6 feet or you run out of yarn.🤣 I change up the main colors in different textures but same colors to give the blanket more character. Just do whatever and have fun!
