The Perfect Throw Blanket For Fall

This easy crochet blanket pattern is everything you need for fall! The colours are spot-on, and those little granny stitches remind me of tiny pumpkins—so cute, right? I had an absolute blast crocheting this while getting into the fall groove, binging Gilmore Girls with a chai tea next to me! I’m sure you’ll have just as much fun making it, too. Plus, it works up super fast—I finished mine in just a couple of weeks!

Substituting Yarn

Starlette worsted-weight yarn offers a luxurious and soft quality in a diverse selection of colours, making it a perfect choice for complementing your home decor.

When substituting yarn, it’s crucial to choose a yarn with a weight similar to the one specified in the pattern to achieve the intended sizing. Starlette yarn leans towards the heavier and plush side of the worsted weight range. Opting for a slightly lighter worsted-weight yarn may result in a slightly smaller blanket, bringing a unique touch to your project. If precise sizing is not a primary concern for you, the variation in size should be fine.

For those who prefer to maintain the exact dimensions of the blanket, it is recommended to create a gauge swatch before starting the project. This preliminary step allows you to check if your tension and stitch count align with the pattern’s specifications, ensuring that your finished blanket matches the intended size accurately. I’ve included suitable substitutes, with Premier Basix (cdn site) being an exact match in two different ball sizes with similar colour options.

Blocking (optional)

Immerse the blanket in lukewarm water with a small amount of dish soap, baby soap, or woolwash. Let it soak for approximately 25-30 minutes. After soaking, gently squeeze out excess water. To eliminate further moisture, wrap the blanket in a towel and press to absorb excess water. If needed, repeat with additional towels.

Next, lay the damp blanket out on blocking mats and carefully pin it to the desired measurements. While pinned, allow the blanket to air dry completely. Once dry, remove the pins to reveal a beautifully blocked and finished blanket.

Washing & Drying

Refer to the yarn label for washing and drying instructions. Wash on delicate and tumble dry low.

I hope you love this crochet pattern. You might also love these crochet patterns!
