Inspired by Claude Monet’s famous gardens, the Painter’s Garden Blanket combines vibrant colors and luscious textures in a painterly landscape you can curl up under. This intermediate crochet pattern features floral-inspired motifs, rich texture, and a gentle ripple design for a modern take on the classic granny stitch blanket.

Use self-striping yarn for effortless color changes, or mix your favorite shades for a creative stash-buster crochet project. Whether you prefer a bold flower blanket or a soft, modern crochet throw, the Painter’s Garden Blanket lets your imagination take the lead.

HOW THIS BLANKET IS MADE
This entertaining project combines a variety of stitches, including puffs, popcorns, spike stitches, and granny stitches. Square- and triangle-shaped floral motifs are joined as you go. Granny stitch sections are worked outward from the motif panels. Side 1 is worked from the center out, then Side 2 is worked from the center out on the opposite side.

Finally, choose between two edging options to frame your blanket masterpiece!

In addition to a detailed, professionally edited and tested pattern, three photo tutorials will guide you as you crochet the motifs and assemble them into panels, and then work the granny stitch sections between panels.

TECHNIQUES USED
