Introduction

Are you looking for a fun and cozy crochet project? In this article, we will guide you through the process of making a beautiful thrill blanket. This blanket combines a simple mesh stitch with sections of unique lace patterns, giving it a stylish and interesting design. The mesh stitch adds a casual vibe, while the lace patterns break up the monotony and add a touch of elegance.

Materials Needed

Before we get started, let's gather all the materials you'll need for this project. You will require:

• Yarn (size four weight)
• Crochet hooks (size L and size K or 6.5mm)
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle

Starting the Blanket

To begin, we'll create the foundation chain for the blanket. The starting chain should be a multiple of three, plus two. We recommend starting with a chain of 101 stitches, which will result in a blanket approximately 39 inches wide. However, you can adjust the width according to your preference.

Creating the Mesh Stitch

The first section of the blanket consists of the mesh stitch. After creating the foundation chain, turn it over and single crochet into the second stitch from the hook. Continue to single crochet in each stitch across the row. Chain two, turn, and slip stitch into the second stitch. Repeat this pattern for rows 3 to 40, creating a simple mesh stitch pattern.

Adding the Lace Pattern

In the next section, we will introduce a unique lace pattern to break up the mesh stitch. Switch to a smaller crochet hook (size K) and make a chain of one stitch. Half double crochet into the first slip stitch and continue placing half double crochet stitches into each chain space and slip stitch across the row. Turn without a turning chain and create a chainless triple crochet. Triple crochet in each stitch across the row. Chain one, turn, and continue with half double crochet stitches in each stitch.

Switching to a Smaller Hook

For the next section, switch back to the larger crochet hook (size L). Create a double crochet puff stitch in the first stitch, skipping two stitches in between each puff stitch. Repeat this pattern across the row. Chain one, turn, and continue with half double crochet stitches, skipping the puff stitch. Repeat this pattern for the following row.

Continuing with the Lace Pattern

To maintain the lace pattern, turn and create a chainless triple crochet or chain four, depending on your preference. Triple crochet in each stitch across the row. Chain one, turn, and continue with half double crochet stitches in each stitch. Repeat this pattern for the next lace section, alternating with the mesh stitch sections.

Switching Back to the Larger Hook

After completing the lace sections, switch back to the larger crochet hook (size L) and continue with the mesh stitch pattern for another 39 rows.

Finishing the Blanket

To finish the blanket, switch to the smaller crochet hook (size K) and create a final row of single crochets. Single crochet into each slip stitch and chain space across the row. Finish off and weave in any loose ends. Congrats, your beautiful thrill blanket is complete!

Conclusion

In conclusion, crocheting the thrill blanket combines simplicity and elegance to create a cozy and stylish piece. With its mix of mesh stitch and lace patterns, this blanket is sure to impress. So grab your crochet hooks and yarn, and get ready to make a stunning blanket that will keep you warm and cozy for years to come.
