Diamond Puff Blanket FREE Crochet Pattern

Diamond Puff Blanket crochet pattern
Are you ready for another fun blanket crochet pattern?  This is another one that I designed years ago that ended up in a tote when I started working full time.  Originally, I made it in full pink for a baby gift.  I would work on it late at night after everyone went to bed and I could watch a movie or listen to a book while crocheting without any distractions.  When I finally pulled that pink baby blanket out of the tote to take photos, I noticed that the shades of pink were slightly off - Ugh!!  
Not to worry though, it gave me a good opportunity to crochet another one, double check the instructions and work it in stripes.  This is another fun project that could be worked in a variety of colors or a rainbow of stripes and all of them would look great!
What do you think?  Do you prefer solid color blankets or stripes?
Whether you're wanting to make a baby blanket or a king sized throw, this pattern will work for you.  You can easily adjust your foundation to the size you'd like and crochet your heart away.

Last year, I wanted to design something new with the Kenitra stitch but I also wanted something with texture.  I played around with the stitch and came up with the Textured Ribbon Candy Stitch that I used in the Textured Ribbon Candy Christmas Tree Skirt pattern.  The blanket was designed first but somehow I missed releasing it. 
It's a really simple repeat section that can be worked quickly once you understand the stitch placement.  It has a wonderful texture and is so comfy to wrap up in!

Secret Garden Blanket Crochet Pattern Rounds 56-63 The Border

Secret Garden Blanket Crochet Pattern
Can you believe that we're already working the border of the Secret Garden Blanket CAL?  I love that we've been able to work a full sized blanket at a manageable pace and accomplish so many fun stitch sections!

Rounds 56-63 are the full border instructions.  This border completely compliments the blanket and makes it stand out beautifully rather than just using a basic square border stitch.

When I designed the Sunny Day Blanket, I knew I wanted a fun border to really make the blanket stand out.  As I searched through stitch patterns, I debated on using the border we're working now or the border that I ended up choosing for that blanket.  They are so similar yet worked differently.  I think one of the things that made me choose the border I did for the Sunny Day Blanket was that it didn't have as many Picots.  

Prepare yourself!  The border we're working this week has a LOT of Picots!!!  However, They really do make the border for this blanket and the final result is stunning so hang in there!
