Who says blankets are only for the colder months of the year?
Make yourself (or a friend) this simple, summer themed, wave design blanket! Drape it over a bed or couch during the summer time and embrace those summer feelings. Or cozy up underneath it when it’s colder and you’ll be pleasantly surprised how comfy and squishy this blanket is!

DIFFICULTY

This pattern is an Easy level crochet pattern. You will need to know how to make increases and decreases, and how to crochet into the back loop.

TERMINOLOGY

This pattern is written in US terminology.

YARN

The Groovy Waves blanket was created using LION BRAND MANDALA OMBRE yarn in the colour ways ‘Happy’ (seen above left) and ‘Mantra’ (seen above right).

The yarn used was a self-striping yarn which means the colour changes within the same ball of yarn. A self-striping yarn is not required.

This pattern requires any brand of weight 4 yarn (aka; worsted weight, aran weight, 10 ply).

EQUIPMENT

You will need a 5mm crochet hook (or hook to match the gauge/tension).
The only addition equipment you’ll need is a pair of scissors, a tape measure and a knitter’s/tapestry needle for sewing in ends.

SIZE

This pattern can be made in any size, from baby blankets to king size bed spreads. The length of each blanket size is easily adjustable by adding or deducting rows. Adjusting the size will change the amount of yarn needed.
