The Crochet Footsie Blanket is designed to keep your feet tucked into a pocket. No more feet popping out at the bottom.
I'm too tall for an average throw-size blanket. Instead of creating an obsession about extra length, I made a pocket that is 12" deep that I can slide my feet into to prevent my feet from poking out.
The entire project is the same length as my total height, so I have extra without forcing the blanket to stretch.
I intentionally created a striping effect at the bottom foot pocket area as this will most likely touch the floor. My cats sleep between my legs as I crochet. So they will sleep in the darker-coloured area without making my blanket look dirty too quickly.
I have included alternative information in the free downloadable PDF for the kid-size version. As an adult, I want to sleep on the sofa without feeling trapped. Thus, I only wanted a 12" deep pocket so I could easily get up.
I have given measurement options for those needing a chair or wheelchair size. The length is too long for being comfortable in a wheelchair. So, I have given alternative measurements for that as well.

The Crochet Footsie Blanket uses the moss stitch after the pocket is formed.

Hi Mikey
I love this blanket. The minute I saw it I knew it was right for me and my mum but now I'm thinking that it's just what my Dad needs too. I consider myself still a newbie yet I managed to do your Stitch, Stop and Roll Afghan. I bought a kit but I HAD to use your YouTube Tutorial all the way to the end. For years people have been trying to teach me to Crochet and none managed it. One day I saw you and hey presto I learned. For some reason I also have trouble following other YouTube Tutorials except for yours. It's like I'm hard wired to just understand you, LOL. I know you said you weren't going to do a tutorial for your Footsie Blanket but I hope you reconsider as I have already downloaded the pattern and read it through and am already stuck on the first row. In my mind I will have a row of stitches just hanging out there so I can't even get started. Please do a tutorial. Thank you so much and thank you for teaching me to crochet. Sending love and hugs from Galicia, Spain xoxoxo
