Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing with you my newest crochet pattern, the Boardwalk Dreams Blanket. This blanket reminds me of the beach with all its beautiful colors. It’s a two-row repeat, which makes it beginner-friendly and quick to make.
For the Boardwalk Dreams Blanket, I chose a cotton blend yarn. The yarn I used is Caron Cotton Cakes in Blue Hawaiian, which is a #4 worsted weight 60% cotton, 40% acrylic yarn.
However, you can use any worsted weight #4 yarn you’d like. If you’d like to use a different weight of yarn, you can do so as well. I also used a size H-8 crochet hook. My favorite crochet hooks to use are the Clover Amour. You will also need a pair of scissors and a tapestry needle. Gather your supplies and let’s begin!
Boardwalk Dreams Blanket
Materials:
- 2 cakes of Caron Cotton Cakes in Blue Hawaiian
- H-8 crochet hook
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
Size:
32×32
Notes:
- To change the width of this blanket, you will make a chain in a multiple of 4+2. This means you will multiply any number by 4. Once satisfied, you will add 2 chains at the very end.
- You will start and end your blanket with a row of single crochet.
