I’ve always wanted to crochet a blanket in warm colors and now I did :) This warm combination of colors and pattern will keep you in a good mood during winter’s cold days. What could be better than wrap yourself in the blanket with a cup of hot chocolate?
Materials:
Yarn: Gazzal Baby Cotton 60% Cotton, 40% Acrylic, 246 yards / 50 grams, Sport / 5 ply – 20 skeins
Crochet Hook: 3 mm
Stitches Used: ch-chain, sl st-slip stitch, sc-single crochet, dc-double crochet, dc2tog or dc3tog- 2 or 3 dc crochet together fpdc-front post double crochet, bpdc-back post double crochet
Here is the post that will show you how to do the fpdc and bpdc
Crochet Square
Start with ch-6, join with sl to 1st ch
Round 1: ch-4, * dc in the circle, ch-1 **, repeat from * to ** around, join with sl st to top of ch-3 (12 dc with ch-1 between)
Round 2: sl st in next ch-1 space, ch-2, dc2tog in same space, * ch-2, dc3tog in next ch-1 space ** repeat from * to ** around, join with sl st to top of dc2tog
Round 3: * sc in next ch-2 space, 4 dc in next ch-2 space, ch-3, 4 dc in same space, sc in next ch-2 space, ch-3 ** repeat from * to ** around, join with sl st to 1st sc
When you are crocheting the last round of the motif, you don’t complete the whole round, join them as you are finishing the last round (in each ch-3 space)

Beautiful blanket in wonderful autumn colors!
love the plus size tunics where can I find patterns
This pattern is wonderfully beautiful. Thank you so much for posting it. I want to make this for my daughter, she will love it!
Thank you! I’m sure your daughter will love it!
would it be possible to post a video of how to join ?
Yes please, I agree! Or even a link to an already existing video or the name of this joining method so I can look it up!
What are the colors you used for the gazzal cotton yarn?
#3424, 3419,3416, 3432
Thank so much! Beautiful work.
This is on my schedule for next year! I love granny squares but I hate piecing them all together! I am currently working on an Afghan with 59 hexagons with snowflakes….just so tedious putting them all together. I love how these are just attached at corners and the middle of the squares.
How many motifs did you make in each color?
I was just looking for this information for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this type of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top websites are full of garbage.
Very nice but cant get the name of this pattern .?is there any chance to get the name or video tutorial?
Hi :) Unfortunately, I haven’t made the video yet.
Hi Jane:
Thank you for taking the time to post this beautiful piece of work. I simply adore the finish product, hopefully you will be able to post a video with the instructions as for some of us are more visual than anything……again thanks for taking the time to post your work simply breath taking.
Gorgeous!
Your blanket is beautiful, can you please tell me how many squares you used? TIA
Thank you! Don’t ask :) 256 squares 16X16
Do you make the 256 squares then join on your last square or do you join as you go? I am confused.
I thought you asked only about the number of squares. You should join as you go :)
