Striped Colour Crush Blanket – Crochet Pattern
Imagine the satisfaction you'll feel as you watch your Striped Colour Crush Blanket grow before your eyes. Picture the cosy evenings snuggled up under your new crocheted blanket or the joy of gifting it to someone special. This is a crochet project that not only produces a beautiful blanket, but also brings joy to the maker and recipient alike. So grab your hook and let's get started on your own Striped Colour Crush Blanket!
If you're a fan of the corner-to-corner stitch and love playing with colour, then this pattern is for you. This easy-to-follow crochet pattern uses stripes of any color, making it perfect for using up your scrap yarn stash and creating a unique, one-of-a-kind blanket. Whether you're a beginner looking for a challenge or a seasoned crocheter seeking a relaxing project, this pattern is sure to inspire.
This versatile pattern allows you to create a blanket, afghan or throw of any size and color palette. You can even use any yarn weight (so long as you remain consistent) or hook size to make it your own.

Imagine crocheting a beautiful scrap-busting version of the "Striped Colour Crush Blanket". As you work through each row, you'll think of all the past projects that contributed to your yarn scraps, each one evoking its own unique memories and emotions. Maybe it's the leftover yarn from a baby blanket you made for a dear friend or the remnants of a scarf you crocheted as a gift to yourself. Each scrap becomes a piece of your crochet story, woven into this new and exciting project.
With each stitch, you'll feel the satisfaction of turning something old into something new, repurposing and giving life to these once-forgotten yarn scraps. And when your new blanket is complete, it will not only be a beautiful addition to your home, but a tangible representation of your journey as a crocheter (and, bonus points, it will prevent all of those scraps ending up in a lanfill).
