Crochet Soft Textured Blanket – Blankets are such fun projects to make, I have also added the multiples at the top of the pattern so you can use it for various other blanket projects such as lapghans, babies, afghans, throws etc.
The blanket has been crocheted in two stitches double crochet together (tr for UK) and a small shell stitch, using a light worsted #3 yarn (double knitting for UK users) with a 5.00mm crochet hook size.
