The crochet Cardinals Blanket is created using solid and half-and-half traditional granny squares. Quilters: You're going to LOVE this collab! We have a FREE quilt pattern for you too! Read on to learn about the entire Hooked on Quilts Collection!
Inspiration
In 2023, WeCrochet reached out and asked me if I would like to collaborate and design five quilt-inspired crochet blankets for 2024. I excitedly jumped at the opportunity! The Cardinal Blanket is a special symbol of love, devotion, positive omens, and for some, a wave of “Hello” from a loved one who has passed. Native American lore sees them as a bringer of rain, sun, and good fortune. Whatever the Cardinal means to you, may you find joy in creating this blanket.
Supplies Needed
- Crochet Hook: I-9 (5.5 mm). I love using Furls Hooks. They are so comfortable and I don’t get stressed hands or wrists like I once did. Use the code HOOK15 for 15% off.
- Yarn: Worsted Weight. Wool of the Andes Tweed.
PDF Patterns:
- Due to this being a collaboration, this pattern will not be offered as a free pattern on the blog. It will only ever be offered as a PDF pattern, as part of the five blanket eBook, or as a kit with WeCrochet. CLICK HERE to head to the pattern shop.
