Looking for your next cozy crochet project—one that’s relaxing to make, incredibly satisfying to finish, and totally giftable?
Meet the Dorm Sweet Dorm Blanket ✨
This isn’t just any Tunisian crochet blanket. It’s designed with a seamless join-as-you-go technique, a playful ruffle border, and the option to monogram it for a personalized touch that makes it extra special.
Whether you’re making it for a dorm-bound grad, a new baby, or your own favorite chair, this blanket is one of those projects you’ll finish and say: “I can’t believe I made that.”
🧶 What Makes This Blanket Different?
Most modular crochet blankets require sewing or whip-stitching panels together after the fact—not this one.
The join-as-you-go technique used in this pattern means each panel is joined as you crochet (hence the name, lol), giving you a clean, seamless look with no bulky seams and no extra steps at the end.
Pair that with Tunisian Simple Stitch, self-striping yarn, and a soft ruffle edge, and you've got a beautiful, beginner-friendly project that looks way more complicated than it actually is.
🖤 Add a Personal Touch with a Monogram
One of my favorite features?
You can stitch a custom initial into one of the panels using the included cross-stitch letter graphs. It’s a small detail that makes a huge impact—especially for gifting. Think baby showers, graduations, holidays, or housewarmings.
