This striped crochet blanket pattern is just the right mix of classic and unique. The alternating wide and narrow stripes are a fun change from the usual matching stripe designs. The monochromatic color scheme also adds some additional charm.

The simplicity of this design makes it a super easy project and the perfect candidate for a brainless crochet session! But don’t worry, the simplicity doesn’t mean it’s boring. The use of a linked double crochet stitch instead of the widely used double crochet adds a unique texture to the fabric. It is both beautiful and functional, creating extra warmth and thickness by eliminating the usual double crochet gaps.
