 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.
