This project is more than just a blanket; it’s a celebration of the colors and textures that make fall so special.
What You’ll Need
Before you start, it’s important to gather all your supplies. MJ’s tutorial includes a detailed rundown of the recommended yarn amounts and hook sizes so you can get everything ready to go.
The blanket works beautifully with rich autumn tones, though you can always mix and match to suit your preferences.
We also love that MJ emphasizes the importance of making a gauge swatch—a crucial step in ensuring your blanket comes out the right size.
This attention to detail helps you avoid common crochet frustrations like ending up with a throw that’s too small or too large.
Mastering the Granny Stitch
At the heart of this blanket is the classic granny stitch, a staple in crochet patterns for its ease and stunning texture. This tutorial will walk you through how to work the cluster granny stitch pattern, ensuring you feel confident as you progress row by row.
You’ll also learn how to handle color changes seamlessly, making it easy to switch between the earthy tones that give this blanket its cozy, seasonal look.
MJ offers tips for maintaining an even gauge, which is particularly useful if you’ve struggled with tension in the past. She also covers how to weave in ends effectively—an often-overlooked part of crochet that can make a big difference in the final appearance of your blanket.
Adding the Finishing Touches
No crochet blanket is complete without a border, and the Fall for Granny Blanket is no exception. In the final steps of the tutorial, MJ shows you how to add a simple single crochet border.
This clean, minimal edge complements the intricate granny stitch pattern while providing a neat, finished look that will make your blanket truly shine.
What’s great about this border is that it’s easy to execute but adds that extra touch of professionalism to your project. Whether you plan to gift the blanket or keep it for yourself, this border ensures your hard work stands out.
