Crochet Pandora's Box Blanket
The Crochet Pandora's Box Blanket by Mikey is an easy to follow pattern that is using the very best of Caron Big Cakes Yarn. Using 4 balls will create square blanket to be about 50" square.
For this project, I used the interior of the Caron Big Cakes Ball for the double crochet rounds. For the single crochet, ch 3 rounds, I used the exterior of the same ball. This creates the colours to be cross mixed over top of each other. Eventually both ends will meet up. Once out, grab another ball and do the same thing to until you get to your desired size.
The colour used is the Toffee Brickle colouring. It gives a Moroccan look to the blanket.

Here is a close up of the front and I have flipped over one corner. The extended single crochet is a double sided stitch that appears on both sides.

If your suggestion what it should be or is that what you think is wrong? I don't follow 100%.
Barbara says
I would like to try this pattern, unfortunately I can't get the Caron Big Cakes yarn. Would Caron Chunky Cakes work? It is #6 instead of #4.
Thank you
Mikey says
Yes, just adjust the hook to an 8 mm / L hook.
Susan says
This is a gorgeous pattern. In the instructions, you don't have to necessarily cut the wool for every round. I leave the wool from the previous round trailing until the following round when I need it.
REBECCA LEON says
i wondered if i could do exactly that. i hate all the cutting and weaving.
thx
