Blake Blanket (EN)

The Blake Blanket is a cozy and beginner-friendly crochet project designed by YarnS Design. Perfect for those just entering the world of crochet, this blanket uses only two simple stitches—yarn over slip stitch and slip stitch, both worked through the back loop only—to create a sophisticated, knit-like texture. The design is not only visually appealing but also works up quickly thanks to the use of Udon super bulky yarn from Hobbii and a large 15 mm crochet hook.

This versatile blanket pattern is available in three sizes:

• 
  

  Baby size: 85 x 80 cm – requires 5 skeins (850 g)

  
  


• 
  

  Child size: 150 x 100 cm – requires 9 skeins (1690 g)

  
  


• 
  

  Adult size: 180 x 150 cm – requires 16 skeins (3100 g)

  
  

Each version features 4 or more color changes, depending on your preference and the chosen size. These color blocks alternate after the yarn over slip stitch rows to add dimension and vibrance to your finished piece.

To finish, the pattern includes a neat single crochet border, where you’ll crochet through the back loops on the sides and over the row-end loops along the top and bottom. You’ll need a tapestry needle, stitch markers, and scissors to assist with the final touches.

This crochet blanket is highly customisable—you can adjust the width by increasing the row count, and modify the length by chaining more at the start. Just ensure you maintain color symmetry and account for the extra yarn you’ll need.

Whether you’re making it as a thoughtful gift or a warm addition to your home, the Blake Blanket is a rewarding and relaxing project.
