The Four Blanket Designs

Shell Blanket

The Shell Blanket is a classic crochet design worked using the ever-popular shell stitch, a technique that groups multiple stitches into a single base stitch to create a fan-like, scalloped texture. This stitch creates a beautifully soft, dimensional fabric that is both visually appealing and wonderfully cosy. The Shell Blanket is worked in a single shade, giving it a clean, elegant look.

• Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky, shade 720
• Quantity: 13 x 25g balls
• Technique: Shell stitch crochet
• Size: Approximately 90 x 90 cm (35½ x 35½ in)

Ladder Blanket

The Ladder Blanket uses a structured stitch pattern that creates a series of open, elongated sections reminiscent of ladder rungs. This type of pattern typically combines chain spaces or elongated stitches with solid rows to produce a striking striped, open-work effect. Like the Shell Blanket, it is worked in a single colour for a cohesive, modern finish.

• Yarn: Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky, shade 721
• Quantity: 12 x 25g balls
• Technique: Ladder stitch pattern
• Size: Approximately 90 x 90 cm (35½ x 35½ in)

Zig Zag Blanket

The Zig Zag Blanket is the most colourful of the four designs, worked in three shades to create a vibrant, chevron-style striped blanket. The zig zag or chevron stitch is a classic crochet technique achieved through a combination of increases and decreases at regular intervals across each row, producing the characteristic wave or arrow-point effect. Working with multiple colours adds an extra layer of interest and requires careful yarn management, making this the most technically engaging design in the collection.

• Yarn A: Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky, shade 721 – 7 x 25g balls
• Yarn B: Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky, shade 717 – 4 x 25g balls
• Yarn C: Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake Chunky, shade 667 – 3 x 25g balls
• Technique: Zig zag / chevron stitch with colour striping
• Size: Approximately 90 x 92 cm (35½ x 36¼ in)

Square Blanket

The Square Blanket is worked in two shades — a main shade and a contrast shade — and is likely constructed using individual crochet squares or a granny square-inspired layout, joined together to form the finished blanket. This type of construction is a hallmark of traditional crochet and allows for great flexibility and portability, as each square can be worked separately before being joined. The contrast shade adds a pop of definition and visual interest.
