New Crochet Pattern for the Ropes and Wheels Blanket

9/30/2019

Ropes and Wheels Blanket crochet pattern

Wonderful new textured crochet blanket pattern

For years, I have absolutely loved the look of the various wheel stitches.  Using color to play up the texture brings an amazing accent to any room.  Fringe has always been a fun touch to those blankets that are placed across couches or bed.  They give that extra feeling of  "Hey, Look at me!"  This Ropes and Wheels Blanket would be stunning in a single color and is wonderful in many.

    Hey there!  Thank you for joining my blog here at Crafting Friends Designs. Grab your hook, some yarn and get comfy as we crochet some fun, unique and beautiful projects together.  
    I'm Kate and crochet is my passion.  I've been crocheting for 30+ years and as you can see from the selection of designs on my site, blankets are my obsession.  I absolutely love creating something that will wrap my love around friends and family when they're in need of comfort. 
    Having 4 beautiful girls of my own has also inspired many infant, toddler and child size dresses.  They are my biggest cheerleaders and have enjoyed wearing the things I've made them.  

    ​If you love what you see, please leave a comment and let me know!
