Capture a moment in time by crocheting a mood blanket that’s unique to you! Mood blankets can begin at any time and last as long as you need, however, this pattern is written to be worked over a period of 6 months. Mood blankets are a great way to document special times. Expecting a baby? Stitch a row every day until baby arrives. Planning a wedding? Count down the days with a mood blanket!

NOTES
1. Blanket is worked along the length (sts) with the finished width of the blanket being 180 rows (plus
foundation chain).

  1. Amount of yarn needed per color will vary depending on your moods! You will need approx. 13 balls of Color Theory yarn to complete 180 days of the blanket. Select amounts of each color you feel work best for you. And don’t be afraid to swap out colors for ones that best represent you!

  2. When working to gauge, each ball of yarn is enough for about 14 rows/days.

  3. Embrace the fringe! You have two options, either cut your yarn at the end of every row and start with a new strand and then knot together and trim into fringe at the end (this is how pattern is written). Or you can go fringe-free and opt to weave in all your ends. Just remember there’s going to be a lot of them!
