Striped Crochet Blankets

Crocheted striped blankets – 20 relaxing designs with repeating patterns

Crocheted striped blankets is a creative, carefully crafted and accessible book that brings together 20 modern designs for striped knitted blankets, each with a repeating structure designed to allow you to enjoy the rhythm of crochet without complications. Through combinations of classic stitches, decorative textures and well-planned colour changes, the author invites you to create functional and aesthetic pieces, perfect for both beginners and intermediate crocheters looking to relax with visually appealing projects.

Each design is accompanied by graphic diagrams, written instructions and a colour guide, making the learning and execution process much easier. The blankets are designed to be crocheted in strips, one after the other, allowing you to easily adapt the size or change the colours according to your preferences. The patterns are designed to allow the crocheting to flow smoothly, with few joins and a minimum number of finishes, reinforcing their relaxing and modular nature.

The approach of the book Crochet Striped Blankets is deeply visual, with close-up photographs of each blanket and details of stitches and textures. In addition, practical tips are included for customising the design of each piece, adjusting measurements, playing with colour palettes or transforming the blankets into other projects such as cushions or rugs. It is a guide that goes beyond the pattern, encouraging free creativity within a clear structure. Its friendly and accessible tone makes it an ideal book for knitting calmly and with pleasure.

Crocheted Fringed Blankets – Travel Inspiration and Decorative Style

Each of the designs in this book is inspired by a specific city, place or atmosphere, giving the blankets a unique identity. Haafner Linssen draws on her own memories and travels as a starting point for creating patterns with soul: the Lisbon blanket plays with pastel shades and delicate openwork, while the Tokyo blanket is constructed from modern colour blocks. This emotional narrative adds aesthetic depth and connects the design with the personal experience of knitting.

The crochet blankets inspired by cities such as Bruges, Jaipur and Marrakech feature a rich variety of textures: from dense, warm stitches to openwork compositions with subtle visual effects. This stylistic variety allows the reader to choose between light blankets, perfect for spring or summer, or warmer pieces for autumn and winter. Through its photographs and explanations, the book conveys a way of understanding crochet as an expression of places, memories and moods.

Crochet-edged blankets – Clear structure and technical adaptability

One of the main advantages of the Crochet-edged Blankets book is its clear and well-organised technical structure. Each design includes detailed information on measurements, type of yarn, needle size and level of difficulty, as well as suggestions for adjusting the size or number of repeats. In addition, many patterns can be easily modified to create cushions, tapestries, rugs or shawls, simply by adapting the number of rows or the width of the fringes. It is a practical approach that encourages the reuse of each design.

A technical section is also included with instructions on decorative edgings, finishing touches and colour choices. This final section serves as a mini school of colour and composition, where the author explains how to combine cool and warm tones, play with contrast or soften the overall look with neutrals. Everything is geared towards helping readers create their own combinations with confidence. The result is a book that is both technical and creative, promoting both learning and personal experimentation.
