The Beginner Blanket Two Ways: Knit + Crochet

Say hello to your favorite new blanket – easy enough for even the most timid beginners while more experienced crafters will enjoy the meditative repetition (perfect for netflix marathons)!

This super easy pattern uses simple stitches to make a bold impact with large, modern stripes. And taking cues from all of the knitters and crocheters here at Knit Picks, we decided to make two versions – knit and crochet – that each shine with undeniable beauty while highlighting the essence of each craft.

No more “I wish there was a knit version of this”  or “If only there were a crochet pattern for that”…we created two patterns motivated by the same goal: to create a gorgeous blanket that you’d never want your home to be without. And sized generously at 50″ x 60” – this blanket is completely share-worthy and snuggle-friendly.
