Pattern for a Brahmin moth blanket. (please note that this is not large enough to be a normal blanket and is about 4 1/2 feet wide by 3 feet tall). This pattern can be repeated and sewn together (which would look awesome with different colors). Or it can be combined with other patterns that are 150 stitches wide (and I do plan on coming out with more butterfly/moth like patterns with this stitch width to be combined into a blanket). As is this pattern is a nice size to be ornamental for the top of a couch.

If you use the red heart super saver yarn (364 yards of medium weight yard per skein) --- you will need 3 skeins of the background color and 2 skeins of the color of the yarn.

This pattern can be made with the type of yarn of your choice. I crocheted the example with Red Heart’s Super saver yarn (which is a medium weight yarn) and used a crochet hook size J (6.00MM).
It is 150 stitches wide x 83 stitches tall.

It is all single stitch crochet. In order to make this blanket you will need to know how to carry yarn (there are great youtube videos that can teach you how to do the Tapestry Crochet Technique. I highly recommend trying a small simple pattern to practice carrying yarn before attempting a larger project such as this one. Carrying yarn gets more difficult as you add more colors, so this one is relatively simple with just the 2.

Once you have purchased this pattern a text document that like this (below) will automatically download to you. If you have any trouble receiving it message me and I will have it e-mailed to you in no time.

1.) A-150
2.) A-30, B-20, A-10, B-50
3….

The #’s are for each row
The letters are for different colors. (A=gray, B=yellow)
(so the above pattern would have the first row be 150 stitches of color A. 2nd row would have 30 stitches of color A followed by 20 stitches of color B followed by 10 stitches of color A and so on….)

I recommend carrying both colors through the entire pattern to keep it even.
