Winter Mix Crochet Blanket

I have been teaching a group of my mom friends how to crochet and a few of them have really taken to it! My friend Barbara (you met her HERE before) just finished up this Winter Mix Blanket and I love the colors and different textures of yarn she chose! She only knows a few stitches (SC, DC, and the Moss Stitch) so she ended up doing rows of SC stitches alternating randomly with rows of DC stitches. It’s so beautiful and cozy for the winter season and such a great beginner project!

There are 4 different yarns used in this project. She picked a few out of my stash and a few from the yarn store so I am going to list the closest matches below for the colorways. I love the way the different thicknesses and textures of the blanket yarn mixed with the worsted weight yarn work together!

Yarn:
– Bernat Softee Chunky in Natural (3 skeins)
– Bernat Blanket Yarn in Country Blue (1 skein)
– Bernat Super Value Yarn in Clay or you can use Caron Simply Soft in Bone (3 skeins)
