Grab all your leftover worsted weight yarns and crochet yourself this easy to make blanket. Done entirely in HDC, this stitch pattern creates a squishy texture that you want to snuggle up in, and it’s reversible. The log cabin pattern starts in the center and works outward, allowing you to create a blanket any size you want.

What inspired me to make this blanket was the tub full of worsted weight yarns that I inherited when my mother passed away at the age of 100. She loved making afghans and would get balls and balls of yarn every time someone visited. This blanket now reminds me of all the afghans she made during her last years, blue and green for my nephews, pink ones for my nieces, red and white for my sister.

Yarn: any worsted weight yarn. Some of the yarns I used were Bernat Satin, Bernat Premium, and Red Heart Super Saver.

Crochet Hook: size H/8 US (5mm).

Finished measurements: my blanket was 60” square (152cm), which fit my double size bed.

Skill level: Easy. Only uses chain stitches at the beginning, then done entirely in hdc.
