Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing my newest crochet pattern, the Christmas Plaid Throw Blanket. This handmade throw blanket is made using beginner stitches. It is the perfect afghan for the upcoming holidays as well!
For the Christmas Plaid Throw Blanket, I used Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn. However, you can use whatever #4 worsted weight yarn you’d like. I also used a size J-10 (6.00 mm) crochet hook. I highly recommend using my favorite crochet hooks, Clover Amour. You will also need a tapestry needle and a pair of scissors. Gather your supplies and let’s begin!
Materials:
- (2) skeins each of Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn in Cranberry, Forest, and Linen
- J-10 crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
Size:
36×55
Notes:
- You can change up the sizing of this blanket by making a chain multiple of 6+5. This means you will multiply any number by 6. Once satisfied, you will add 5 chains to the very end.
- Chain 3 counts as a double crochet stitch.
- You will change colors every row. Do not fasten off each color. Instead, you will carry the yarn up the sides and pick up the new color.
