Crochet Desert Dreams Throw Pattern + Tutorial

The Crochet Desert Dreams Throw is a shocking fun find on Yarnspirations. Mandala's feelings of stitching pleasure await.

Look carefully, the yarn is self-striping using Red Heart Dreamy Stripes. However, if you want to plan your colours and change colours in the rounds, you could create unique-looking blankets.

Based on finishing my sample, I think this blanket will need to be damp blocked at the end for shaping. That's what I had had to do as well.

Crochet Diagram and Tutorial Notes

The tutorial will be referencing these materials which I made to assist me in teaching this pattern. The joining is a lot of words but the simplification in diagram format will help to break the learning barrier to be easier.

I have included the final border of instructions as well as the instructions are really long but once you see how easy it is.
