Crochet Blended Love Blanket
This Blended Love Blanket is crocheted by using 2 shades of your favorite color, to "blend" them together using some interesting textured stitches.
I chose Red Heart Ombré in Deep Teal and Anemone to create this generous afghan that is big enough for 2 to snuggle under together. Think about upcoming weddings. Perfect to pick the happy couple's favorite colors to crochet this gift blanket.
This finished project is 52" x 74", but you can resize using the multiples of 16 + 18.
You can use any solids or self-striping yarn too to give it your own look to match any decor.

Do you have a tutorial on the Blended Love Blanket ? I would LOVE to make this blanket. I especially like your color combinations. I am terrible at choosing color combinations and yours are gorgeous! ? I am having trouble following written patterns, but can follow tutorial. Thankyou.
Mikey, The Crochet Crowd says
No we haven't filmed anything yet for this blanket I'm sorry.
Diane says
Do you use a H and I hook for this? What letter is size 7?
Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says
Size 7 in US does not have a letter associated with it. It's a 4.5 mm hook.
Diane says
Row 34, there are no sc from row 33. Help
Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says
I'm sure it's because I did a copy and paste from an earlier row. Again, my apologies. Hope this helps.

Hi Mikey or Jeanne
Can you please do a tutorial on the Blended Love Blanket?? I have a hard time understanding this written pattern. I would like to see how you’re doing it. It will be more helpful for me and everyone. It’s a very beautiful blanket.
Thank you!

I'm looking at your photographs of the blanket. Were two blankets made or just one and they look different under lighting? I have to order this yarn online and I want to make sure I am ordering the right set of colors. From what I can tell one blanket is more blue and purple and the other more teal and corals. Can you clarify?
Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says
It's only one blanket. It's the lighting. I'm just a hobbyist photographer. I get a bit frustrated sometimes trying to capture the true colors of the yarn. I'd say more teals and darker pinks, not corals.
Jessica Lopez says
