The blanket features the classic lemon peel stitch, which creates a rich, woven-look texture using simple alternating stitches. It’s wonderfully relaxing to crochet and approachable for beginners, yet polished enough to impress experienced makers.
This is one of those designs that looks far more intricate than it truly is—perfect for confident beginners and seasoned crocheters alike.
Designed for both beauty and practicality, the pattern allows you to carry your yarn up the sides, reducing the number of ends to weave in. With five blanket sizes included, you can easily customize your project from a baby blanket to a generous throw. Full video tutorial support is also provided, giving you extra confidence every step of the way.
Whether you’re creating a cozy throw for your living room, a heartfelt handmade gift, or adding another piece to your Frost Blossom Collection, this pattern is crafted to be enjoyable from the very first row to the final stitch.
