Obviously, for a full afghan you will need to buy more yarn! Then follow the pattern and crochet to your heart’s desire. You can make this blanket as big or small as you’d like for your home!Īs far as I can tell, if you chain an even number of stitches, you can simply adjust the length of your chain to a smaller or larger size. However, I plan to continue working on this blanket to make it a larger throw. I have been into the lapghan size lately because I think it’s a nice size for a small space. This blanket is 36″ x 40″ which makes it a nice, small lapghan or toddler size blanket. Even if you’re a beginner, this stitch is completely doable without being overwhelming.Īlso, because I used a slightly larger hook than what the yarn calls for, the final product is a chunky crochet blanket with a really nice drape that emphasizes the desirable thick, bubbly texture I was going for. I’ll give the full details below but all you need to do is literally alternate single and double crochet stitches. The texture is incredibly cozy, and it’s one of the easiest stitches I’ve ever done. If you’ve never done lemon peel, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Indeed, this blanket IS done completely in the lemon peel stitch.

That piqued my curiosity, so I looked it up on YouTube.

I had no idea what stitch this was until someone on Instagram mentioned that it is called the “Lemon Peel”. I had to name this blanket the “Icelandic” because the color reminds me of winter white, and the blanket is warm enough for the coldest of days.īut don’t confuse the name of the blanket with the name of the stitch I used to make it.

No matter which way you look at it, I’m not really seeing any downsides to this chunky crochet blanket. And the texture is stunning! I made it a lapghan size, so it’s easy to toss over a chair or over our legs on those chilly nights without being too bulky or taking up too much storage space. Plus, this may be personal preference, but the color is my all-time fave.Īs if that isn’t enough for one blanket to have going for it, it’s such an easy crochet pattern that anyone can do it. It works up super quickly and it is unbelievably cozy. If you’ve been reading this site for a while, you might remember when I first posted this Chunky Icelandic Blanket. At this point, it’s been through the wash and has been cuddled numerous times, and you wouldn’t even know it because it holds up so well! This is the main blanket that we use for those cozy evenings on the couch. Today I want to share a pattern with you for a crocheted blanket that my family has enjoyed in our living room for quite a while now.
