This unique crochet blanket pattern was inspired by the log cabin style so common in knitting. I love log cabin blankets, but have never been a fan of their disjointed appearance so I wanted to create something more symmetrical and cohesive. I chose to design this pattern for crochet enthusiasts because I find mixing colors to be much less tedious with crocheting than with knitting!

This blanket was created using Vanna’s Choice yarn by Lion Brand. The finished dimensions (using a size K10.5/6.5 mm crochet hook) are approximately 51 x 80 inches. (Size can be easily adjusted by using either a larger or smaller hook. This pattern could also easily translate to a baby blanket with a smaller hook, fewer rounds, and a lighter-weight yarn.)

Skills required to complete this afghan include: chain, slip stitch, double crochet, and the ability to combine colors (There are many ways to do this. Simply choose the one you prefer!)

All of my patterns are written in American English, using standard US knitting and crochet terms.

I know what you’re thinking--“Can I make a bunch of these blankets and sell them at a craft fair or online?” You certainly can! (In fact, I would be flattered if you did!) I simply ask that you please provide your customers with the name of my pattern store if they are interested in the pattern and utilize your own photos if selling online. Additionally, please do not copy this pattern for redistribution or sale, or display it publicly in any way. I worked really, really hard on it!
