This is a crochet pattern for a blanket made using tapestry crochet.

It is formed of stripes with pairs of of angled leaves, reminiscent of the leaves of the hornbeam tree. The blanket is finished off with a simple border.

The blanket uses four different contrasting yarn colours (although you could use more or fewer if you prefer).

The pattern includes photos showing how to do tapestry crochet, full written instructions, tips and a chart for making the blanket. It would be suitable for an intermediate crocheter looking to try tapestry crochet for the first time.

The finished blanket, made with DK yarn, measures 126 x 140 cm. However, the pattern includes instructions for varying the size to make a bigger or smaller blanket.

The pattern uses DK weight yarn although you could use any weight yarn. Aran or worsted yarn would also work well, for example.

The pattern is available to download in either UK or US terms.

Crochet level: intermediate.
