The Isla Blanket is a gorgeously squishy blanket that has the most beautiful drape and super cute pompom edging! I used Paris stitch, which reminds me of C2C a little, but it just produces the most lovely texture which I am a little obsessed with! I’m desperately trying to see if I can sneak it into a garment design.

This is just a quick and easy baby blanket pattern, but there’s nothing stopping you from scaling it up to make it adult sized.

I hope you enjoy making the Isla Blanket, it’s a nice and mindful make with lots of soothing repetitive motions!

PATTERN NOTES:

This pattern is written in UK crochet terminology.

I used Stylecraft Special DK in Pale Rose and White, but any DK that meets the gauge will work.

This pattern produces an 80cm x 110cm blanket, but if you wish to make a larger blanket simply chain a larger number, ensuring that it’s a multiple of 3 + 1.

A Paris Stitch cluster refers to: (2 tr, 2 ch, 1 dc)

Full disclosure: the border is not my design, but an original method from Daisy Farm Crafts! (tutorial linked below)
