Product Description
This is a chunky ombre blanket that works up ridiculously quickly so you will be sure to be snuggling under it in no time.
It’s made with four strands of DK yarn held together, and a 15 mm hook.
The strands change gradually across the blanket to create the ombre effect.
It works great in either bold or subtle colours. You could go wild with some crazy combinations or choose something more refined and neutral. Either way will look great.
The size of the blanket ensures that with five 100 g balls of DK yarn in each of two colours, you should have sufficient yarn to make the blanket and enough left over to add some tassles as a finishing touch.
The pattern has been tested to work with Stylecraft Speical DK and Paintbox Simply DK but would most likely work with other similar DK yarns.
This is an easy pattern suitable for beginners and uses the V-stitch.
It is written in UK crochet terms but includes instructions for converting to US terms (simply replacing tr with dc).

What is Being Made
The Olalla Ombré Blanket is a crochet blanket or throw designed to create a striking ombré color effect across the finished piece. This beginner-friendly project uses a clever yarn construction technique to achieve its distinctive gradient appearance, making it an accessible project for crocheters new to the craft while still producing visually impressive results.
Techniques Used
The Olalla Ombré Blanket employs a unique multi-strand construction method that sets it apart from standard blanket patterns. The pattern cleverly uses four strands of yarn in two different colors worked together to create the ombré effect across the blanket. This technique allows crafters to achieve a sophisticated color transition without complex color-changing methods or frequent yarn switching. The pattern is designed as an easy crochet project, making it ideal for beginners who want to create a professional-looking finished piece.
Stitches Used
- Treble crochet (tr) – the primary stitch used throughout the blanket construction
- Chain stitch (ch) – used for foundation and pattern structure
Materials
This pattern is worked in DK weight yarn, a medium-light yarn weight that creates a fabric with good drape and structure suitable for blankets and throws. The pattern requires standard crochet hooks appropriate for DK weight yarn. The multi-strand technique calls for four strands of yarn in two coordinating colors, allowing crafters to experiment with different color combinations to customize their finished blanket.
Pattern Details
Designed by Catherine Noronha of Catherine Crochets, the Olalla Ombré Blanket is available as a free downloadable PDF pattern. The designer encourages crafters to explore various color combinations and welcomes photos of finished projects tagged with #olallaombreblanket on Instagram.
