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.
Tutorial
Motif Only for 1st Part.
2nd Part is Joins and Final Border

Mikey, please do a tutorial. I'm not a fan of connecting, but this is simply gorgeous.
Patti says
Yes Mikey I would love a tutorial and if you would choose a colorway in cool tones too. Thanks

I don't have my licence in colouring as Daniel does it. Usually I just choose a colour that is best for filming. 😀

I really hope the pattern is not incorrect, as I would love to see a video on this. It is beautiful and you present amazing tutorials! I am currently watching two blanket videos now and trying to decide which one I want to try first!?
Linda says
I'd love to make this! Not sure I will tackle it without a tutorial so I really really hope you do one! 🙂
Jean says
I already have this about done, it's been challenging since it seems to me some of the stitch counts just don't add up. I would love a video on this, I would love to make it again 🙂
Mikey says
Are you saying the pattern is incorrect. If you think it is. it's best I don't film it. Please let me know.
Jean Sheets says
I am no expert by any stretch. I had trouble with a couple of rounds but just worked around it. It's a fairly forgiving pattern for the most part! I look forward to your video. It may clear up some of my questions ☺️
