The Yarn That Is Perfect for This Crochet Knit Blanket
This blanket is easy to make and a perfect first (or second) project for beginners. For this sample, I used Hobby Lobby I love this yarn, but any worsted weight yarn like Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice would work great!

Patterns Using This →This Blanket Only Uses One Crochet Stitch
Really, what makes this pattern, so simple is the fact that the whole blanket is worked using half double crochets!
Once a row of half double crochets is finished, the next row is worked by half double crocheting in the back loop of the previous row’s hdc!
If you wonder how to work a hdc in the third & back loop, then don’t worry! I have a full picture tutorial about it!

How many skeins of yarn or how many yards of yarn do you need for this pattern? Thanks!
Hi Mindy!
It would all depend on how big you want to make it. I didn’t measure this when I was done. It is more of a guide. 🙂 https://www.jimmybeanswool.com/secure-html/onlineec/knittingCalculator.asp This may help! Just pick the worsted weight yarn option!
Does alternating between hdc in 3rd loop in back and in front mean the end product looks the same on both sides?
Thanks for the pattern!
Hi Judy,

About how many yards did this take?
I went to the video but it will not open, error msg appeared.
