Product Description
This baby blanket is suitable for a confident beginner keen to master some new crochet skills and a textured bubble stitch. It can be made using any weight of yarn as long as you always work in multiples of 2 plus 3. You will need to be able to change colour for your coconut ice stripes once every 20 rows if you are following the colour sequence of my pattern. I've named the blanket "Coconut Ice" as one of my crochet friends said it reminded her of the coconut ice dessert. This blanket can worked using any sequence of colours or even in one colour. It also lends itself to gradient yarns. The textured bubble stitch makes it a lovely squishy blanket for any baby or equally a cosy throw for the home.
Coconut Ice Blanket by Linda Etheridge
What is Being Made
The Coconut Ice Blanket is a striped crochet throw designed by Linda Etheridge of Lindale Crochet. This project creates a textured blanket featuring alternating color stripes that evoke the appearance of coconut ice candy. The blanket is suitable for confident beginners who are ready to expand their crochet skills and master new stitch techniques.
Crochet Techniques Used
This pattern emphasizes learning and practicing textured crochet work, specifically incorporating a bubble stitch that creates visual interest and dimension throughout the blanket. The pattern requires color changes to create the signature striped effect, with color transitions occurring every 20 rows to achieve the coconut ice aesthetic. Crocheters will gain experience working with color changes in striped patterns, a fundamental technique for creating multi-colored crochet projects.
Stitches and Stitch Details
The Coconut Ice Blanket features a bubble stitch as the primary textured element. The pattern is written using UK crochet terminology. The stitch repeat is based on multiples of 2 plus 3, providing a straightforward mathematical foundation for adjusting the blanket size if desired. This structured repeat makes the pattern accessible for confident beginners while still offering the challenge of mastering the bubble stitch technique.
Materials and Yarn
The Coconut Ice Blanket is designed to work with DK weight yarn, making it a versatile project that can be adapted to any yarn weight as long as stitch multiples of 2 plus 3 are maintained. The original pattern sample was created using 4 x 100g balls of Stylecraft Special Double Knit yarn, providing a clear yardage reference for crocheters planning their project. Standard crochet hooks appropriate for DK weight yarn are required to complete this blanket.
