Here’s the basic details on this blanket. It comes out close to twin size. I really should have measured it but as you can see it covers our large sofa, roughly 6 feet by 4 feet. Using a different yarn or hook will of course give you different results.

Materials Used:
Five Caron Big Cakes self striping yarn, medium weight 4
Two skeins accent yarn in the same weight (I used white RedHeart yarn I had laying around)
5.5 mm crochet hook.

When I started making these I was NOT good at reading written patterns. I watched video tutorials from You Tube, Bella Coco she’s seriously amazing, and I quickly mastered the corner to corner stitch. I tried making a written pattern but it’s pretty bare bones so please check out an online tutorial if you are a beginner.

Ignore the colors on this diagram, I wanted the best contrast possible, so I used black for the butterflies. The yellow border was my way of centering the butterflies.

To finish this blanket add a border of single crochet all around. I do anywhere between 2 and 4 rounds of single crochet but you can use any border you feel like using.
