The fruit blanket is finished! This has been a fun little crochet project as we head into summer!
I posted all the corner-to-corner fruits as separate patterns so you can use them individually for many different projects! Create pocket pouches, crossbody purses, pillows, or make more fruits and crochet a larger blanket!
In this post I will show you how to join the squares and create the border. I thought the basketweave border would be perfect for our Fruit Basket Blanket! Finished size is approximately 34 x 38 but you could continue the border to make it bigger.
To make this project even sweeter, I have teamed up with Red Heart to bring you a curated a box of Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in all the colors you need to make this Fruit Blanket! Or just stock up on this perfect array of rainbow colors. Limited quantities available!

Once you have the c2c fruit squares finished, you will want to lay them out and join them.
I had just enough of the soft white left to join the squares….
I did have a little math miscalculation and realized that even though the pixel graph heigh and widths added up correctly, I wasn’t taking into account that the watermelon touches multiple fruit squares.
So there are a couple ways to solve this. I ended up making a few filler C2C pieces BUT then as I was joining, I noticed I probably didn’t even need those fillers. Crochet is very forgiving and I could have just stretched the squares a bit as I joined.
In addition, fellow crocheter April shared with me that she just rearranged the fruit a little bit and they all lined up nicely! I also love the borders she added to each piece.
Now let’s use my favorite joining technique: The Slip Stitch Join to connect these C2C pieces together!
HERE is a video on how to do the Slip Stitch Join
but I also go over it in the first part one of the Fruit Blanket Video Tutorial below:
To start the border, join in your red (or any color of your choice) yarn at any space between the c2c pixel squares, chain 1 and make a SC, now chain 2 and make a SC in the next space, continue around making a SC + chain 2 + SC in the four corners.
Join to first SC and slip stitch over to the first chain space.
Make 2 HDC in each chain space all the way around, make a HDC + chain 2 + HDC in each corner.
Continue to HDC around switching colors every row for as many rows as you’d like.
Now let’s start the basketweave border!
With brown yarn, DC in each stitch around making a DC + chain 2 + DC in each corner, join to first DC, chain 2.
Front Post DC in first stitch, Back Post DC in next, repeat around alternating between Front Post and Back Post Double Crochets. DC + chain 2 + DC in each of the corners. Join to first DC.
Now make a Back Post DC in the first stitch and a Front Post DC in the next, alternate as you repeat around, DC + chain 2 + DC in the corners.
Continue alternating for two more rounds, fasten off and weave in ends.
Now you have a beautiful basketweave border for our Fruit Basket Blanket!
So bright and beautiful and sweet for the summer.
This blanket is reversible! The backside is a mirror image of the front!

I love this. If I buy the curated kit, it’s enough yarn for the joining and colorful rainbow edging? I think I would use black on the outermost border so would I need another skein or two? I want to make one order and hopefully have all the white, black, etc be of one dye lot. I hate running short. I’ve only done one C2C and it was stripes made of leftover skeins of Red Heart. I wanted one skein of their new Granny Square skein to see if I like it but they’re all out. Bummer. I’m excited to order so I can get to hooking it up.
Loved this post! Your perspective is so refreshing. cheapest smm panel for youtube
Love the pattern, colors and finished product!
I’ve never tried C2C, and this may be the inspiration to make me try.
Thanks for always sharing beautiful crafts.

Finally finished! Such a satisfying texture to the stitches. I tried a few different fruit patterns before landing on a design everyone loved. Can’t wait to gift it
This crochet fruit basket blanket is so cute! I love the idea of using individual fruit squares for different projects, and the basketweave border is the perfect touch. Definitely adding this to my summer crafting list—maybe I’ll even pull some fresh color inspiration from Lanta AI while I’m at it!
This crochet fruit basket blanket is such a cute idea! All those individual fruit patterns are fantastic; I can imagine them on so many things. By the way, if you need to quickly soften the background in your photos of your finished blanket, there are some great free tools out there, like BEST Blur Image Online Free 2025.
This crochet fruit basket blanket is adorable! Those individual fruit patterns are such a great idea. I can already picture so many cute projects. Speaking of teaching, if anyone needs a way to practice telling time while crafting, there’s a great Free Analog Clock Online for Teaching & Learning.
This fruit blanket is so cute and summery! I love that you made the fruits into individual patterns. So many possibilities! I was just working with some color values and needed a quick way to convert them; thankfully, there’s a handy RGBA to HEX Color Converter out there!
This fruit blanket sounds so cute and perfect for summer! I really love that you’ve posted the individual C2C fruit patterns separately. It’s awesome to know they can be used for so many other projects, like pocket pouches or pillows, not just the blanket. So much versatility!
I snapped a quick pic of the finished blanket, ran it through Polaroid AI Photo Generator, and the vintage-style print now hangs in my craft room—same cozy colors, but with that sun-bleached instant-film vibe that makes the crochet fruit look straight from a 70s picnic.
This fruit blanket is absolutely adorable! I love how you incorporated the individual fruit patterns, it opens up so many possibilities. It’s inspiring me to try something similar, maybe even create some fun food-themed characters to use with them. I’m always looking for creative inspiration and lately, I’ve been experimenting with using AI to make characters; it would be so cool to see a crochet character brought to life in anime form!
