what we’re making

We’re making the Layered Patch Blanket by crocheting each of the 13 layers on top of each other. There’s no joining of patches required at the end of the blanket.

You have the option to make the Layered Patch Blanket with super chunky yarn or 10ply / worsted weight yarn. The size of the blanket is the same with the different sized yarns, with the size and number of the stitches varying. The super chunky version has bigger stitches that are easier to crochet.

The stitches in the rows vary throughout each layer with the focal point being the beautiful V’s that mark the end of one layer and the start of the next.

skill level – easy

This pattern uses simple stitch patterns and if you’ve done some crocheting before then you’ll be able to make it.
