You explain how to create the plaid effect really well. Hi! I absolutely love the design of this pattern, the colours are also exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, Norma Norma Farmer April 10, 2023 You say 2 ball, then 1 and 1, but how many grams of each please. I love your plaid blanlet, but don’t understand the amount of yarn that I would need in aran. You might have to do a conversion if you are looking to use another yarn weight. I used Bernat Softee Chunky yarn, which is 394m and 400g per each ball. The amount of yarn you will need to add depends on the weight you use, and by how much you are increasing the size… Callista April 10, 2023 Thank you! I completed the Northern Timberline Blanket in Lemon Peel stitch, the Morning Frost Blanket in HDC, and the Baby Tartan in HDC and DC.

You may also choose to purchase the ad-free printable PDF here. You will see the full pattern for free below. Remember you start & end with a partial section. (Width of each full section is 23 7-2-5-2-7). This will add two full colour sections in order to keep the repeat the same. To increase the width of this blanket, chain 95 + multiples of 46. You can find a more detailed tutorial for changing colours here. With the yarn colour that is currently being used to create the single crochet stitches, you will crochet over the 2nd colour that you are carrying over (sometimes called “tapestry crochet”).Īs you crochet, before finishing the colour block that you are working on, you will pull through the 2nd colour on the last stitch. You will always be working with 2 colours in each row. Where the stripes intersect, the 3rd colour is used to illustrate the overlap. To create the look of plaid, you must crochet the “background” square colour with horizontal and vertical stripes running through it in a contrasting colour.
