My books blanket is composed of twelve large squares that are each inspired by a different book. I decided to name the blanket, the Well Loved Books Blanket because they each represent a well-known book. However, the idea is that you can use these squares to make many different projects: pillows, wall hangings, bags, baby/lap blankets, and much more! The three main crochet techniques used in this blanket are: tapestry crochet, joining granny squares, and crochet applique. If you are new to any of these, do not worry- there is a photo tutorial and explanation at the beginning of the pattern to demonstrate each of them!
I used Rowan Summerlite DK yarn in the following shades: 1 fuchsia (bright pink), 2 powder pink (light pink), 2 plaster (medium pink), 1 rogue (raspberry), 1 cantaloupe (dark orange), 2 summer (mustard yellow), 2 duckling (light yellow), 1 khaki (olive green), 2 pear (light green), 2 giggle (teal), 2 moon (medium blue), 1 cecily (dark blue), 2 mushroom (lavender), and 1 steel (dark purple). There will be leftovers of all the colors! Additionally, I used 8 natural (cream) and 2 black of Patons Grace yarn. However, any DK weight yarn will work!
I hope you enjoy the pattern, and I can’t wait to see the different projects that you make with these squares!
