Have fun crocheting this striped blanket with a free pattern – it’s the perfect gift idea and super simple to make! You’ll use the herringbone half double crochet stitch, which gives the blanket a beautiful, flat texture. The finished size is approximately 44 x 40 inches. Customize the stripes however you like: make them thicker or thinner, add fringe or tassels, and choose your favorite color combo. You can also easily adjust the size by starting with a longer or shorter chain and adding or reducing rows. It’s a fantastic stash-buster project, so feel free to use up all your leftover yarns. This colorful, cozy blanket is a fun project, perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself!
