The Keep A Light On Blanket is designed to be as soothing to make as it is to snuggle under. This modern throw blanket crochet pattern blends calming repetition with just enough stitch variety to keep your hands engaged and your mind at ease. The thick, puffy texture feels wonderfully soft as you work, and the finished blanket offers warmth and comfort whenever you need it.

Worked in rows with medium-weight yarn, this project uses a combination of three stitch patterns to create a beautifully textured, fully reversible fabric. It’s written for intermediate crocheters, but adventurous beginners ready to explore spike stitches will enjoy it too. The pattern also includes clear instructions for 7 sizes, from a sweet lovey to a generous large throw.

With clearly written instructions and detailed photo and video tutorials, you’ll feel confident bringing this cozy design to life.
