I believe naps are severely underrated. There is nothing better than cuddling under a blanket to recharge our batteries. And this Christmas tree blanket can be just what you need to take a break from all the busy preparations!

This blanket is made in interlocking crochet, and the pattern comes with instructions on the technique itself, plus photo tutorials on how to get started and how to make the colour changes.

Made with Scheepjes Stone Washed, I used approx. 1600g in total. All colours used are detailed in the pattern with amounts, and as usual, I added a colouring page for you to play with your own colour combinations. The tree lights were made with small leftovers of either Stone Washed or River Washed (just about 4m yarn for each light).

If you are new to the technique, you can find my tutorials with a free downloadable pattern to follow here: Astrid’s Interlocking crochet YouTube channel
