Most crochet patterns which call for fringe typically just add fringe to the ends of the project. That's how I've designed with fringe in the past but I wanted something different for the Hug Me Chevron Blanket crochet pattern. I thought it would be fun to have a woven or stitch look with the fringe popping in and out of the blanket with a pretty length at the end. My daughter fell in love with this style and it was honestly SO easy to do. You could do it to any pattern that has a decent hole in the stitch work which will allow you to pull the long strand through. The fun part about this is that if you wanted a slightly different look, you could cut the strands longer, work them into a braid and pull the braided yarn through the length of the blanket. How fun could that be in other designs???!!! Continue below for video...

I'm so excited to be able to release another new and fun blanket crochet pattern! The Hug Me Chevron Blanket is full of simple texture, color and fringe. This was designed for my cute daughter Tay with a specific request that her blanket needed fringe. I had already designed the Checkmate Heart Throw for her but after she saw the Boho Diamond Blanket finished with fringe, she fell in love and needed something different. No worries!!! I put the Checkmate Heart blanket away to give to someone who would love it later and started a new project just for her. It had to be colorful to match her spunky/fun little personality and I didn't want to just do a basic fringe again. It needed to be unique!
A simple little textured stitch graces the body of the pattern while the fringe is woven in and out of the rows through the length. The little pops of fringe through the post stitches remined me of someone reaching their arms wide to give someone a hug giving this fun new pattern it's name. What do you think? |
