I have a truly lovely crochet blanket pattern to share with you today. It's a stitch that is probably in every old crochet book, and loved by many crocheters through the decades. It's also probably the easiest crochet blanket pattern there is!
It's what I like to call a "mindless" pattern; I completed the entire blanket while binging my favourite TV series. It really doesn't take much concentration at all!
I wanted to add something "special" to this blanket. After much perusing, I discovered this yarn by Hobbii called Mocktail. It's a super soft acrylic/ wool blend. But the special part is that it has these beautiful, subtle sparkles spread throughout the lighter colours.
The yarn, with its soft and slightly sparkly texture, adds a touch of elegance and modernity to this timeless pattern.
For convenience, I've created a full free Youtube tutorial here!
