about the Folded Patch Blanket

what we’re making

We’re crocheting the Folded Patch Blanket by making 35 patches and then joining them together with a knit-like stitch.

You have the option to make the Folded Patch Blanket with either super chunky yarn or 10ply / worsted weight yarn. The size of the blanket and its patches are the same, with the size of the stitches varying. The super chunky version has bigger stitches that are easier to crochet.

The patches repeat the same stitch over and over again to create a three dimensional texture.
