Product Description
Whether you have a ton of yarn you’d like to use up or you want to make a mindless, colorful blanket, you’re going to love the Double Strand Scrap Blanket. This crochet pattern is easy, beginner friendly, and works up fairly quickly for a blanket. This pattern is worked by holding a double strand throughout the entire blanket and only uses the half double crochet stitch.
One of the great things about this blanket is you can make it completely your own. Use the colors you have in your stash. You don't have to make even rows, but I do think you should separate each color with a line of white because it's nice to differentiate the colors.
I can't wait to see what you come up with and how you make this Double Strand Scrap Blanket your own! Be sure to post your projects on Ravelry. I would love to see them.
Double Strand Scrap Blanket by Sigoni Macaroni
What Is Being Made
The Double Strand Scrap Blanket is a crochet blanket project designed by Sigoni Macaroni for crafters looking to use up yarn scraps or create a colorful, low-stress blanket. This pattern is ideal for stash busting while producing a finished blanket that works up relatively quickly despite its size.
Craft and Technique
This is a crochet project written in standard US crochet terminology. The defining technique of this blanket is that it is worked holding double strands of yarn throughout the entire project. This double-strand construction creates a thicker, more substantial fabric while allowing crafters to incorporate multiple yarn colors and weights from their scrap collection. The double-strand method also speeds up the working process compared to single-strand blankets of similar finished size.
Stitches Used
The Double Strand Scrap Blanket uses only half double crochet stitches (abbreviated as hdc). This single-stitch construction keeps the pattern extremely simple and beginner-friendly, requiring no stitch switching or complex stitch combinations. Half double crochet creates a medium-density fabric that is soft and drapes well, making it perfect for a blanket application.
Materials and Yarn Weight
This pattern calls for worsted weight yarn held in double strands throughout. The double-strand technique means crafters will need a crochet hook sized appropriately for worsted weight yarn when doubled. The pattern is designed to accommodate scrap yarn, making it an excellent project for using up yarn remnants from other projects. Crafters will also need a crochet hook suitable for working with doubled worsted weight yarn.
Difficulty Level
Rated as beginner difficulty, this pattern is accessible to new crocheters and those returning to the craft. The straightforward stitch choice and repetitive nature make it a mindless, meditative project that doesn't require constant pattern reference or complex shaping.
