A Crocheted Throw/Blanket for my Niece

Today I am sharing a crocheted throw I have made for one of my nieces.



She found this design of a knitted blanket on the Dunelm website, and asked  
if I could crochet something similar.

I used the lovely textured Cluster stitch which you can find HERE on
the 'Blossom Crochet' YouTube channel.

Rebekah’s tutorials are very easy to follow. She has lots of different
crochet stitches, tips and techniques to share on her YouTube channel
and her Instagram account found HERE



I started by deciding how wide I wanted the throw to be and using a
4mm crochet hook I chained 146 stitches.

I then crocheted the two row repeat pattern until I reached the desired
length, (larger than my usual blankets) and I didn't add a border.


I purchased the yarn from Hobbycraft
using 11 x 100g balls of Women's Institute Premium Acrylic
in the colours Bright Lilac, Light Pink, Cream, Mustard, Honey, Soft Blue,
Denim, Vanilla, Aqua, Hot Pink and Magenta.

A Crocheted Throw/Blanket

Today I am sharing a crocheted throw I made last year for my sister-in-law.

I used the lovely textured Crossed Trebles stitch which I found HERE on
the 'Blossom Crochet' YouTube channel.

Rebekah’s tutorials are really easy to follow and she has lots of different
crochet stitches to share.

I started by chaining 120 stitches and then crocheted the two row repeat pattern 
until I reached the desired length.

I finished by crocheting a border of one row of double crochet, three rows of 
half trebles, one row of slip stitch, three rows of half trebles, one row double crochet
and one row slip stitch. 



I purchased the yarn from Hobbycraft
using 9 x 100g balls of Women's Institute Premium Acrylic
 5 in ‘Mustard’ and 4 in 'Cream'

Today, I am sharing a crocheted throw/blanket I made earlier in the year
for one of my nephews who is a life long West Ham football supporter!


I used the lovely textured Textured Trebles stitch which I found HERE on
the 'Blossom Crochet' YouTube channel.

Rebekah’s tutorials are really easy to follow and she has lots of different
crochet stitches to share.


I started by deciding how wide I wanted the throw to be and using a
 6mm crochet hook I chained 120 stitches.

I then crocheted the two row repeat pattern until I reached the desired length.

I finished by crocheting a border of one row of double crochet, four rows of 
half trebles, one row of slip stitch and one row of half trebles.
