Product Description
Reminding me of my favourite ice-cream flavours (Vanilla, Choclate and Mint), the Ice Cream Dream stroller blanket uses moss stitch to whip up a chunky blanket in no time at all. This pattern is great for beginners looking to learn a new crochet stitch, or experienced crocheters who are looking for a relaxing make.
Terms: This pattern is written using UK terminology
Materials: Approximately 9 balls of 100g super bulky/super chunky weight cotton yarn
General Notes:
- If you are using a substitute yarn which is not cotton, the drape of the finished item may be different to pictured, as stitches may form more tightly. You may wish to increase your hook size to obtain a looser stitch.
- All stitches are worked through both loops.
- Colour changes should always be made on the same side of the work each time. Pick up the new colour on the last yarn over of the last stitch of the row.
- Finished size may vary depending on tension.
Ice Cream Dream Stroller Blanket by Yarra Yarn Creations
What Is Being Made
The Ice Cream Dream stroller blanket is a crochet project designed by Charlie Whitmore for Yarra Yarn Creations. This finished blanket measures approximately 30 inches by 37 inches, making it an ideal size for stroller use. The design draws inspiration from three favorite ice cream flavors—Vanilla, Chocolate, and Mint—translated into a three-color colorway using super chunky cotton yarn.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches
This pattern features moss stitch as its primary crochet technique, a textured stitch that creates visual interest and depth while remaining straightforward for beginners to execute. The moss stitch is ideal for creating blankets quickly due to the super chunky yarn weight used throughout the project. The pattern also incorporates fundamental crochet abbreviations including chain (ch), double crochet (dc), and skip the next chain stitch (sk ch), making it accessible for crocheters new to the craft.
Yarn and Materials
The Ice Cream Dream stroller blanket requires approximately 10 balls of super bulky/super chunky weight cotton yarn totaling 1000 grams. The yarn is distributed across three colors:
- Colour A: 5 balls of 100g (70m) — used in Green Tea
- Colour B: 3 balls of 100g (70m) — used in Optical White
- Colour C: 2 balls of 100g (70m) — used in Shadow
The designer used Panda Soft Cotton Chunky yarn for this project. Additional materials include a Size N/P (10mm) crochet hook, scissors, and a wool needle for sewing in yarn ends upon completion.
Gauge and Finished Dimensions
The pattern specifies a gauge of 12 stitches by 12 rows equaling 5 inches (12.7 centimeters). Working at this gauge with the recommended super chunky yarn and 10mm hook produces the finished blanket size of approximately 30 inches by 37 inches.
Skill Level and Project Suitability
Rated as a beginner difficulty project, the Ice Cream Dream stroller blanket is excellent for crocheters learning moss stitch for the first time. The pattern is equally suitable for experienced crocheters seeking a relaxing, meditative make. The super chunky yarn weight and straightforward stitch construction allow the blanket to progress quickly, providing satisfying results in a shorter timeframe than projects using lighter yarn weights.
