True to my love of nature and full-flowing gardens I added some floral or flower stitches that range from a version based on the tulip stitch to a decorative flower wave stitch.

The finished striped crochet blanket ends up being cozy soft and lightweight, perfect for a lazy sunday afternoon picnic, or your favorite colorful throw for your lounge or reading nook.

Easy pattern instructions

The striped afghan is one of my favorite crochet blankets, I have spent a lot of time making this pattern easy to follow, the line of the crochet blanket creates the length of the blanket and the completed mixed row stitches make up the width of the blanket.

Note that this is a combination of mixed stitch crochet stitches that has been compiled into a crochet stitch sampler blanket pattern and not a full-on how-to learn n crochet blanket tutorial. I would suggest this pattern for someone who knows their way around crochet and needs something that will remind them of the beauty that crochet offers.

Although this pattern is not a full-on detailed tutorial, do think that making this pattern will leave you more skilled at the end of it.

If you are a more entry-level crocheter then I do have a stitch sampler pattern which includes a detailed photo tutorial available and this can be found here :

Color usage for my Crochet Stitch Sampler

I use yarns that speak to me.

I am not affiliated with the sale of any branded yarn, my income is solely based on the sale of my patterns.

I write patterns for the love of color and I combine and select my colors randomly  all of my blanket designs. I combine up all my favorite yarn colors into a large box and then work randomly thru the colors and suggest you do the same.

I design blankets for the feel the finished item rather than to promote yarn.

I do believe that if you have a yarn favorite and like to crochet, then pick the yarn you love working with. Making a large blanket takes time, effort, and most of all love.
Believe it or not, using a yarn that makes you want to crochet, helps with completing a project. I used DK cotton yarn as I love working with it, it's cool in summer and warm in winter, and just a natural fiber that I prefer. I also choose DK yarn as the hook size is the type of fabric that works for me when it comes to blanket-type projects.

But we all all different, we like using different-sized crochet hooks and we like using different types of yarn weights and fibers, so the yarn you like, love, and prefer for this blanket pattern. Just use the appropriate hook size for your loved yarn.
Spend time with things you love not things that will frustrate you in the process.

You are welcome to use a larger crochet hook with a thicker yarn or a thinner yarn with a smaller hook, but note that you will have to calculate the size difference using the gauge supplied in the pattern. I do not specify colors or a color list in the pattern.
