Put those gorgeous long-striping cake yarns to good use and make a new favorite snuggly blanket for your home with the Fairy Tracks Crochet Afghan Pattern.

This easy intermediate crochet pattern uses approximately 3500 yards of a DK weight yarn to make a finished piece that’s 47x75” of absolutely lovely, flexible beauty. The featured yarn is Lion Brand Mandala in colorway Pixie. (It takes 6 skeins to make the dimensions listed. Five skeins would get you a length of about 63”.) Any DK weight long-striping yarn would work but it doesn’t need to be a striped cake yarn at all. The sky’s the limit with this one. And, the pattern includes notes on how to adjust the length and width to your desired dimensions.

You’ll also need a US-H 8/5.00mm crochet hook, tapestry needle, and scissors.
