The Blackwatch Plaid Crochet Blanket is DaisyGardenCrochet’s cuddly take on a classic Scottish tartan made in 100% cotton yarn.

This pattern comes with instructions on how to crochet an envelope border so that you can avoid weaving in all of the ends, and the full instructions are given 3 ways: a graph, row by row written instructions, and row by row color block instructions. Descriptions and photos are also provided on how to make well blended color changes.

For this blanket, the starting color of each row is carried across the row, and the vertical stripes are carried up the length of the blanket.

To crochet the vertical stripes, it is highly recommended that you have a scale so that you can divide the yarn into pre-weighed balls. The pattern provides an example for how you will use your gauge swatch to calculate the amount of yarn needed for each stripe.
