Plum Perfect Crochet Throw

Pin This!! --->

Make this eye-catching filet crochet throw blanket in just a week! Bold purple and crisp white worsted weight yarn in double crochet stitches! This crochet throw is a breeze to make for any level of crocheter! Add a touch of bold color to your sofa or recliner!

I know it's March now, and I know this isn't green (although I probably could have used a gorgeous green instead of purple) but I had to make this blanket and share it with you right away! It's another blanket done in length instead of width and it's all double crochet-so easy!!

Here you can see the filet crochet pattern repeat. This was a little different than my usual blanket patterns with multiples. I don't have multiples on this one because I had to finagle around with how I wanted to begin the panels that had the filet crochet pattern to get it just centered. I didn't like having the filet pattern starting too close to the edge and I had already started my chain for how long I wanted the blanket to be. :-)

I really enjoyed making this blanket! Watching it come together as I finished each panel was a real delight. It took me about a week to make it, working on it mostly in the evening. Each panel is about One 7oz skein. So if you wanted to make yours wider than mine, then just pick up more skeins of each color and keep going!

Originally, I was going to just make it a wide, panel blanket. But as I was nearing the end, I began to notice that it was a little bland. So I decided to add fringe, and I really feel like that was a great decision because it definitely adds to the overall look of the throw!

I also ran a little short on the purple so to be safe, you should probably pick up extra for the fringe! I wasn't sure at first how long to make my strings for the fringe so I experimented by folding it in half and laying it against the end of the throw. I found that 12" was perfect since it will lose a little when tied onto the ends.

Although this crochet throw blanket is made in all double crochet with filet pattern, it is a bit heavy. Perfect for the lap on a cool night!
My version pictured here measures 106" long without the fringe, and 36" wide. The gauge that mine has for my tension using my favorite hook is 2" per 6 double crochets.

Another Finished Crochet Afghan Throw

I have finished another crochet afghan throw. This one is for a family member for their Birthday next month. I used Bordeaux and Sea Shell color yarn from Bernat Satin.

I used the same pattern that was for my Boyfriend's throw. http://missedstitches.blogspot.com/2013/01/another-blanket-finished.html

I also made a scarf from some leftover yarn. I'm think I'd like to make more scarves like this. They are simple, make up quickly, and are ideal any time of year!

I created this pattern and will likely use it for future scarves. It's in a deep red soft yarn.

Here's the Free Crochet Pattern for this Scarf!

ch 23

1) sc in 2nd ch from hook, ch 3, sk next 3 ch, (dc, ch 1, dc) all in next ch, ch 3, sk next 3 ch, sc in next ch, ch 4, sk next 4 ch, sc in next ch, ch 3, sk next 3 ch, (dc, ch 1, dc) all in next ch, ch 3, sk next 3 ch, sc in last ch

2) ch 6(counts as dc and ch 3), sk next ch3sp, (sc, ch 3) twice in next ch1sp, sk next ch3sp, 2 dc cluster in ch4sp, (ch 2, 2 dc cluster) twice in same sp, ch 3, sk next ch3sp, (sc, ch 3) twice in ch1sp, sk last ch3sp, dc in last sc

3) ch 1, sc in 1st dc, ch 3, sk next ch3sp, (dc, ch 1, dc) all in next ch3sp, ch 3, sk next ch3sp, sc in ch2sp, ch 4, sc in ch2sp, ch 3, sk next ch3sp, (dc ch 1, dc) all in next ch3sp, (dc, ch 1, dc) all in next ch3sp, ch 3, sk last ch3sp, sc in last dc

Repeat rows 2 and 3 to desired length.

Shell and V-Stitch Crochet Throw Pattern

All crocheters love Crochet Shell Stitches, right? Shell stitches add thickness to a blanket, especially when done in repetitive rows. I found a similar pattern online that had this crochet shell and v-stitch, however I didn't like how theirs went together. It seemed awkward and unfitting. So I played with different ways to make the rows and came up with my own method. This pattern is much easier to work and creates a stunning result!

I made two. One in luscious grape wine purples and one in fresh field of grass greens. I used cream/off-white yarn to add contrast and really make the colors pop!  Create your own palette of yarn to add coziness to any chair or room!

Please excuse the bad photo quality. These photos are from when I first learned to crochet and use a smart phone. :o)

The original name for this blanket is Think Spring, mostly because of the lush green yarns I used. When it was posted on All Free Crochet, they decided to name it Turtle Shell Lapghan.

-Details-

Finished size that I made measures 31" x 57". I did not add a border to this.

I am unsure on the gauge for this pattern as I was fairly new to crochet and never remembered to measure my stitches. The blanket has since been washed several times and is stretched slightly so any measurement obtained will be off.

-Materials-

For my Purple version, I used Bernat Satin colors. For my green version, I used the 3 skeins each  Caron Simply Soft yarn:

• Dark Sage
• Pistachio
• Off White

H8/5mm Crochet Hook

Sharp Scissors

Darning Needle
