Alex Blanket

There’s something deeply relaxing about the rhythm of the Alex Blanket. Rows of soft half-double crochets flow between playful split puff stripes, creating a cozy, modern texture that’s as soothing to make as it is to snuggle under.

This beginner-friendly pattern is all about comfort, easy stitches, simple color changes, and a design that looks far more intricate than it feels to crochet. Whether you’re making a quick baby gift or a full king-size blanket, the gentle repeat and color play will keep your hook happily moving.
