The crochet stitch sampler Red Heart Framed Textures Crochet Blanket Pattern by Jeanne was revised in December 2024. The revision includes crochet diagrams and a slight rewrite of the bean stitch rounds. The 10th round was also changed to make it simpler to follow.
It is designed for easy repetition so that you can relax and crochet simultaneously. The textures are framed for a beautiful presentation. Turn on the TV and get hooking.
Crocheted with Red Heart With Love, which is softer than regular Red Heart Super Saver, this item is excellent for gifting or making something special for yourself.
Get started and put your hook into the wind to enjoy this free pattern.

Alternative Start
Alternative Start for Rectangle
Stitch multiple for rectangle version is in multiples of 2 chains + 2.
1st rnd: 2 dc 3rd ch from hook. 1 dc in each ch to 2nd last ch. (2 dc. Ch 2. 2 dc. Ch 2. 2 dc) in last ch. Using the underside of ch, 1 dc in each ch to 2nd last before beg ch that is holding 2 dc. (2 dc. Ch 2. 2 dc) in last ch. Join with hdc to beg dc.
Proceed to 2nd rnd of square instructions for the remaining of the blanket. Stitch counts in square version are for the short side. If that matters to you, you will have to figure out the stitch counts for the longer side.

Another Crochet Blanket to Try
Ronnie says
Love this blanket especially with the new Red Heart Itty Bitty Stripes Sampler Blanket. I am wondering how I can make it rectangular shape rather than square. I crochet for the Linus Project and they have very specific requests on size. Thanks -
Mikey says
I'm sorry, we have not figured that out to design it that way. I apologize for that not being available. - Michael
Jasmine Quiles says
This pattern is stunning! I’m definitely adding it to my list. But first, I need to finish my boyfriend’s cardigan before it warms up and that skeleton WIP I couldn’t finish in time for Halloween! 😊
Mikey says
You have a lot on your plate Jasmine.
Lola Rusin says
I have a question on 11th red. It says there should be 26 sc each side but if you do the round as written I only come up with 20 sc. Are we really to skip 2 dcs?
Mikey says
Lola, Jeanne checked her notes. She's unsure how you are getting only that many stitches in that round. We don't have any answers for you as we cannot duplicate why you are missing stitches.
