There is something just so magical about combining 2 different yarns together to create something new! It’s one of my favorite ways to make blankets. I think The Starlight View Throw crochet pattern might be my new fave!
I took a super bulky weight (respun thick & quick) plus a worsted weight (landscapes breeze) and combined them by weaving the landscapes yarn and carrying it throughout! This was SO much fun to do. It was a nice change than just doing normal stitches. It took a couple of rows to get my fingers used to it but after that, this blanket basically flew off my hook. It took just about 1 week from start to finish.
You’ll be using an offset double crochet V-St throughout the entirety of the blanket. The part that makes it so special is carrying the second yarn along while you go. There is a very specific way on how you carry the yarn so be sure to read the info below or check out the video tutorial for a quick rundown before you get started!
I’ve been eyeing this super chunky yarn from Hobby Lobby for a loooong time. I really wanted to make a chunky crochet blanket for myself but could never get myself to buy all the yarn required. When I saw it go on sale for only 4.89 I decided to go for it! It took a total of 13 Ivory skeins and 2 grey. I know it can be difficult to force yourself to buy so much yarn at once but I promise it will be worth it! This is definitely the coziest blanket ever and the yarn is a dream to work with. SO soft!
