The Cobbled Road Blanket pattern is available for free on my blog here, but you can also purchase the ad free pdf above

The Cobbled Road Blanket crochet pattern is one of those designs that sat stewing in my mind for a long time before I got the chance to make it a reality.

I’ve seen several other patterns made using colour changing cakes and loved how the colour changes enhanced the pattern and gave the projects another beautiful dimension. Seeing how the colours change and swirl together across the blankets is just fascinating and strangely hypnotic.

I used 3 yarn cakes from Yarn Shop By Stay Alive. All 3 are 4 ply 100% merino ombre cakes with 1000m of yarn in each. The cakes I chose are:

• The grey ombre cake
• The gold ombre cake
• The blue ombre cake

To make this blanket you will need:

• 3 x 1000m 4ply yarn cakes
• 4mm hook
• Stitch markers
• Darning needle

Gauge = 21 rows in 10cm, 9 Cobble stitches in 10cm - (sc, hdc, dc), sk2

This gauge gave me a finished blanket measuring 140 x 80cm - the perfect size for a lap blanket.
