About the design
Why should quilters have all the fun? This striking blanket uses a classic log cabin patchwork design to create a stylish, colourful effect. We love the look in yarn rather than fabric, with the Tunisian stitches adding elements of texture and depth for a three-dimensional look.
The white, blue and brown colour scheme will cheer up any space, although you can crochet it with any five colours you like. The patchwork-style construction means it’s portable and breaks the blanket down into manageable chunks.
If you’re new to Tunisian crochet, this is a great, simple project to start with.
The blanket is worked in 6 large squares, which are sewn together and a border is added. Each square is worked in blocks, which are cast off before joining in the next colour.
This pattern was designed by Simone Francis and first published in Simply Crochet Magazine, issue 161.
