The David Blanket

Who says a beginner can't make a stunning afghan? The David Crochet Blanket Pattern is perfect for any crocheter, from novice to expert, because it uses a fun velvety yarn to create a beautifully striped, luxuriously soft blanket everyone will admire.

This beginner crochet blanket pattern uses approximately 275 yards each (or about 1925 yards total) of 7 different colors of velvety bulky [5] yarn. The yarn featured is Bernat Velvet in colors Vapor Gray, White, Smokey Green, Shadow Purple, Indigo Velvet, Burgundy Plum, and Velveteal to make a finished piece that is 53x65". You'll also need a size US-K 10.5/6.5mm crochet hook, tapestry needle, and scissors.

The pattern also includes notes on how to adjust the length and width as you desire. And with the wonderful variety of velvety and/or bulky yarns available today, the sky is really the limit when it comes to what color combinations you can imagine.
