The Beckett Blanket is a textured crochet blanket designed to highlight the natural color flow of self-striping yarn.

The stitch pattern alternates slip stitches and half double crochets to create soft waves across the fabric. When paired with a solid yarn every two rows, the color changes in the self-striping yarn blend smoothly instead of shifting abruptly within the row.

This design is part of a year-long exploration of stitches that work especially well with self-striping yarn.

Once the stitch rhythm is established, the Beckett Blanket becomes a relaxing and satisfying project that works beautifully for blankets of all sizes.
