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.

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 ☺️
