Mikey challenged me to crochet a marled afghan, so I went straight to my favorite go-to pattern to create this super easy blanket. While holding 2 strands of the Caron Chunky Cakes together, this lovely piece went really fast. I used 8 Cakes to crochet this 52″ square blanket.

Besides all of the beautiful color changes, I want to add that this is a really, really heavy blanket. If you haven’t heard the benefits of Weighted Blankets, be sure to pop over and read about it on my blog, 9 Crocheted Blankets of Love Ideas. This one should definitely be added to the list.

Any chunky #6 yarn can be substituted. Maybe even try mixed a solid color, like Bernat Softee Chunky with a Caron Chunky Cake and see what happens.
