Easy Plaid Crochet Blanket Pattern

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Hi everyone! During quarantine, I kept myself busy crocheting and came up with a method to crochet plaid. I have been searching for months for the perfect plaid crochet pattern, but never found anything that suited my tastes. Thus, I worked out this pattern that is incredibly easy to make. I created the blanket before filming the video, but tried my best to explain the process by showing the completed blanket and by demonstrating a swatch. Please don't be shy if you have any questions as I am new to crocheting and even newer to explaining a pattern! I will do my best to answer your queries.
You can find the written pattern here: callistafaye.c...
For this project you will need 3 colours of yarn. I used Bernat Softee Chunky yarn which is super bulky (6) and recommends an 8mm crochet hook. I used the colours "Natural", "Grey Heather", and "True Grey". Because I was crocheting over my second colour of yarn (sometimes called "tapestry crochet"), I used a 10mm crochet hook.
Begin the pattern by chaining 95, then single crochet into the 2nd chain from the hook. From there the pattern is explained in the video.
I hope that you will try this project as it is very fun and satisfying to see your efforts come together into such a nice plaid project. Cheers!
Goodness, this is so much easier and secure than the weaving method! Thank you!
So glad you love it! Thank you!
Best demo of tartan I've seen.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that!
This is the best version of plaid crochet I've come across. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Enjoy!
In the crotchet community I don't understand why this video doesn't have more views. 👌 nice work 👏
Gosh, thank you so much!
Maybe her choice of keywords otherwise her work is excellent!
@@annnyaga3536 thank you!
I have to comment again. This is beautiful 😍. I have so many projects and now I have to add another one, giving this one priority. I will be referring to this video often. Please don't remove from RUclips
Thank you, thank you! Absolutely not - hoping to make more videos soon. :) Would love to see how your plaid projects turn out!
Beautiful! 🤞🏻 One day I'll get one made
Thank you!
I just found this video and it is fantastic! Your tutorial is great, very easy to follow. I can’t wait to make one
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed, I hope you have fun making your own.
This is the greatest plaid pattern ever, but I need a visual on the starting of row 1. is it possible to create a video showing from the foundation through row 2.
You just create your chain, and start single crocheting. Here’s an excerpt from the free pattern:
With colour A, Chain 95
Row 1: With colour A, work SC into the second chain from hook. SC into next 2 chains. Before finishing the 3rd SC in colour A, pull through colour B. Continue this for each colour change throughout the pattern. Work 2 SC in the next 2 chains, carrying the other yarn colour over. Carry over whichever colour you are not working with through entire pattern.Switch to A, 7 SC. Continue working each SC into the next chain.

Hi can you tell me how many Ball of each colour and size of balls really lovely blanket
callistafaye.ca/blogs/crochet/easy-plaid-crochet-blanket-pattern-free
I used Bernat Softee Chunky yarn which is super bulky (6). I used two 394m balls of “Natural” and “True Grey” and four 394m balls of “Grey Heather”. Please note that using two strands of super bulky makes a very thick blanket (perfect for cold Canadian winters), but if you are looking for something that transitions between seasons, I would recommend a lighter weight of yarn.
Hi, what a beautiful blanket, would you please tell me how much wool it took to make??? Thanks
Thank you! All the info is detailed here: callistafaye.ca/blogs/crochet/easy-plaid-crochet-blanket-pattern-free
Is there a border you can use instead of tassels?
You could do any border of your choice if you prefer. Or check out my other patterns for border ideas!
Just trying your plaid blanket, I'm new to crochet as well self taught, I think I'ma very slow crocheted, hopefully will speed up as I progress, my question is do you have a graph of this pattern? Thanks
Enjoy!! You can find it here: callistafaye.ca/blogs/crochet/easy-plaid-crochet-blanket-pattern-free
So, did you make the squares and then assemble like granny squares?
No, it is one continuous blanket. The colours are carried through. :) I refer to the patterns the colours make as “squares”.
@@callistafaye so then you constantly work with all three colors at once? If not, how do you transition from one color in the square to the next color, when only working with two?
Love this pattern! Do you happen to remember how many skeins of yarn you used & how big the blanket was?
Hello, thank you so much! You can find all those details here: callistafaye.ca/blogs/crochet/easy-plaid-crochet-blanket-pattern-free :)
Impressive - 'Obi-Wan taught you well'....
Wow. Alot of yarn on the hook... thinking to use lighter weight yarn cause my hands will hurt with 2- 4plys together. Why not?
You just use one strand at a time, no matter the ply. Of course you can modify to use whatever ply you prefer.
Beautiful pattern thank you for sharing!
Question-it takes 3 different colors, but I didn't see what amount of yardage is needed for each color. Do you remember the yardage? Thanks again

How long was your base chain? And was it all in the same color?
95 chain, in colour A. You can find all info here: callistafaye.ca/blogs/crochet/easy-plaid-crochet-blanket-pattern-free
This is a beautiful pattern! I do have a question as I am just starting this now, i can not get the chain to work with the 95, if the pattern to begin is sc 2nd chain then 12, 23,23,23,12 stitches should not the begin chain be 24? I am not sure if i am missing something and do not want to go to far and discover i messed up
Thank you again for sharing this pattern with us!!
Thank you, I’m glad you like it! The important thing is that the blanket is 93 stitches wide, so as long as you end up there it will be fine. :)
This is confusing to Me as well
love this pattern! seems daunting but i want to make it for my mom for christmas. how long did it take you to make this? it may be a late christmas gift 😂
Thank you! I’m so sorry I missed your comment! I don’t remember off hand, but once you get started it’s very easy to keep the pattern going & watch TV or something else to pass the time. :)
@@callistafaye it turned out AMAZING!!! took about a month. it was so easy!! :)
@@Vthomas0421 I am thrilled to hear that!! 😁
So lovely! How much yarn did this take?

Hi there, I am trying to make a baby blanket. How many stitches would the foundation chain be if I was using #3 yarn?
To increase the width of this blanket, chain 95 + multiples of 46. This will add two full colour sections in order to keep the repeat the same. (Width of each full section is 23; 7-2-5-2-7). Remember you start & end with a partial section.
error, should not the beginning chain be 94, I typed 24 by mistake
Is this available as a written pattern?
