Strike! This bowling-themed crochet blanket pattern is a total score for anyone who loves the lanes. Featuring a bold design of a bowling ball and pin, this blanket makes the perfect handmade gift for bowlers of all ages—great for birthdays, team celebrations, or just showing off your love for the game.

The construction of the blanket is crocheted using a unique stitch that I have used in many of my blanket designs. The stitch creates beautiful, even and nicely angled lines that elevate the colorwork in blankets.
