Melys Rayas Blanket by Sew Hooky

What Is Being Made

The Melys Rayas is a striped crochet blanket designed by Sew Hooky (Melissa). This throw blanket features horizontal color stripes and is suitable for intermediate-level crocheters looking to create a finished home textile project.

Craft and Primary Technique

This pattern is designed for crochet, making it ideal for crafters who work with a crochet hook rather than knitting needles. The striped construction allows for color changes throughout the project, adding visual interest and the opportunity to practice color work in crochet.

Stitches and Stitch Work

While specific stitch names are not detailed in the provided pattern excerpt, the Melys Rayas blanket employs fundamental crochet stitches appropriate for an intermediate skill level. The pattern structure incorporates stitch markers to help track progress and maintain consistency across rows, which is particularly useful when working with color changes and maintaining even tension throughout the striped design.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The Melys Rayas blanket is worked in DK weight yarn, a lightweight option that creates a drape suitable for throws and blankets. The pattern calls for a 5mm crochet hook. The designer used Paintbox Simply DK yarn in the following colors and quantities:

• Stormy Grey (104) ~ 325g
• Washed Teal (132) ~ 125g
• Dusty Lilac (146) ~ 125g
• Blush Pink (153) ~ 125g

Additional materials needed include a darning needle for weaving in ends and scissors for cutting yarn. Yarn weights may vary depending on your personal tension and the specific yarn brand you choose to substitute.
