Materials

For making this blanket, I recommend using acrylic yarn, as it offers a range of fantastic advantages when crafting your crochet blankets.

First and foremost, it's incredibly affordable, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious crafters. Additionally, acrylic is easy to find in a wide array of colors, ensuring you can achieve the exact look and style you desire for your project.

Its durability makes it ideal for blankets that will see frequent use, as it stands up well to washing and wear. Furthermore, acrylic yarn is hypoallergenic, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin or allergies.

Finally, its softness and warmth make it perfect for creating cozy, snuggle-worthy blankets that will keep you and your loved ones toasty all year round. So, when it comes to crafting your next crochet masterpiece, consider acrylic yarn for its affordability, versatility, and comfort.

pattern Notes

CONSTRUCTION

This blanket is worked in rows from the bottom up, repeating eight rows in order to create the brick look and turning at the end of each row.

COLOUR WORK

Colours change every two rows, using three colours in total. You will always work in this sequence: Off White (A), Cognac (B), Off White (A), Camel (C), repeating this sequence until the length of the blanket is completed.

After finishing one row, cut the yarn and knot to secure. Then, attach the next colour on the last stitch of the row you just finished, work 1 or 2 chains (depending on the row you are working on) and turn your work to start the next row. The initial 1 and 2 ch do not count as a stitch.

If you would like to avoid having thousands of ends to weave in you can do the following:

After completing a row, do not cut the yarn, instead attach the new yarn using a chain stitch, drop the old colour and continue working with the new colour for the number of rows needed (in this case it will always be two rows) and when you need to use the other colour bring it back and continue working as normal. When you work the border you will be able to hide the yarn left on the sides.

The stitch pattern for this blanket is any number multiple of 10 + 2.

Rows 9- 136: Repeat rows 1 to 8 sixteen times following the same colour changes for each row.

Border:

The border of the blanket is worked in two rounds without turning, so the right side of your work will be always facing you. When working the vertical sides of the blanket, it won’t be clear enough where to place each stitch so I recommend working 1 sc over 2 rows of single crochet rows, 1 sc over rows 2 and 3 of bricks and 3 sc over rows 6 and 7 of bricks. This way you will achieve a balanced edge.

The border is optional and you can skip it :)

Rnd 1: Attach colour A to bottom right corner of the blanket, 1 ch (does not count as a stitch here and throughout), *3 sc in same corner sp and evenly distribute each sc along the vertical side edge (try to keep your tension loose when working the vertical sides of the blanket, otherwise it can shrink), 3 sc in next corner sp, work 1 sc in each sc available along the horizontal edge* repeat from * once more, join with sl st to 1st sc from beg of rnd. Cut colour A.

Repeat row 1 if you would like to make the border thicker.

Rnd 2: Attach colour B to any corner space 2nd sc from corner, 1 ch, *1 reverse sc or crab st in every sc from previous round, 3 reverse sc in next corner space* repeat from * to * across the entire blanket until you reach the first sc of the round, 1 sl st to 1st sc of round.

Cut yarn and weave in ends. Steam block your blanket to straighten the sides and achieve a smoother look.
