This listing is for a PDF (instant-download) of the Falling Blanket Crochet Pattern, named after the song “Falling” by Norah Jones and Rodrigo Amarante…

“I’m laying low
Beneath the vines
I hear the sound
Of clouds going by…”

This blanket is soft, cozy and warm. Looking at its detailed, pretty stitches makes me feel peaceful as I crochet.

It has a plushness to it made thick by the stitches, which makes it great to use as a baby playmat or cushy picnic blanket in addition to using as a regular blanket/throw. This blanket is washer and dryer safe!

The pattern is easy to follow, containing specific, detailed and concise instructions on how to make this blanket in eight sizes:
1) Baby Lovey
2) Baby Security
3) Baby Stroller/Car
4) Baby Receiving/Play Mat
5) Toddler to Teen
6) Adult Throw Small
7) Adult Throw Medium
8) Adult Throw Large (2-person)

Instructions are given with pictures after each row over 10 pages. Stitches used are ch (chain), sc (single crochet), sc2tog (single crochet 2 together), hdc (half double crochet) and sl (slip stitch). The pattern gives photos and/or written detail on how to make these stitches. There is also a section at the end of the pattern that shows you how to sc and hdc so if you don’t know how, now is a good time to try! I’m here to help so why not jump in!

Pattern repeats are easy to remember so you’ll be crocheting mindlessly in no time! I find it easy to make these blankets while hanging out with family or riding in the car because they don’t require too much concentration.
