I’d say Big Twist Value is right in the middle as far as softness compared to other value yarns I’ve used. It is a category 4, worsted-weight yarn that is 100% acrylic. They may not be the softest and smoothest yarns you’ll ever work with but they make a large project more affordable and usually they soften with time.īig Twist Value yarn is an economy yarn that can be found at Joann Fabrics. I love using quality inexpensive yarns for large blanket patterns. Yarn Used in the Easy Double Crochet Blanket If you would like to change the texture a bit from the classic double crochet texture, you can try crocheting in the back loop only or in the front loop only to get more of a ribbed texture. If you’re not sure which chain height works best for the way you crochet, I encourage you to try both on a small practice swatch and see what you like better. I find that, with the way I crochet, my rows look neater and have smaller gaps at the beginning if I only chain 2. Chaining 2 versus chaining 3 is a personal preference. You may also notice that the pattern calls for chaining 2 at the beginning of each row.
Stitch counts and instructions for both a starting chain and a foundation double crochet row are included in the pattern. You can start the blanket with a long chain or with a row of foundation double crochets (fdc). If you haven’t worked much with the double crochet stitch, you may want to practice with the Easy Double Crochet Dishcloth pattern. It is a great beginner crochet pattern and it’s nice to have a small project to practice on instead of jumping right into a huge investment of time and yarn. It is such a fun stitch especially when you are just beginning because it makes your fabric grow so quickly! Isn’t it great when you find a crochet pattern that only needs basic crochet stitches? I think the 3rd stitch I learned after the chain stitch and the single crochet stitch was the double crochet stitch. Not only that, it is a super easy blanket to make!
You can absolutely make a blanket with just double crochet stitches. Can I Make a Blanket With Just Double Crochet? Of course, you can make up your own striping pattern or you can completely skip the stripes and make it in a solid color. The DC blanket pattern below shows you how to use double crochets to make an afghan with an eye-catching striping pattern. You can crochet it while watching your favorite show without missing a stitch or important plot details. It is also great to make as a gift since it doesn’t take too long and it is so classic looking. This pattern also works great for more advanced crocheters since it won’t require too much of your focus and attention.
