The Inspiration Behind the Wynn Blanket

The inspiration for the Wynn Blanket came from a beautifully textured blanket I stumbled upon online.

Its simple yet elegant design immediately caught my eye, and I knew it would make a perfect addition to my collection of crochet patterns.

The combination of the puff stitch and a clean, one-color aesthetic was something I couldn’t resist recreating in my way.

But before diving into the design process, I wanted to involve our community and get their input on which blanket I should attempt to create a dupe for.

I sent an email to my list, showcasing a few blanket options I was considering for my next project.

The response was overwhelming (thank you!), and a bunch of you voted for this particular design. (Although this one won by a slim margin over another one I’m also thinking of creating a crochet blanket design for.)

I set out to design the Wynn Blanket, and the result is a pattern that captures the essence of the original and adds my personal touch, making it a special project that I’m excited to share with you all.

Yarn + Materials for this Textured Crochet Blanket Pattern

For the Wynn Blanket, I wanted a yarn that would highlight the rich texture of the puff stitches and provide a soft and cozy finish that you’d love to wrap yourself in.

After some experimenting, I used Joann Fabrics’ Big Twist Value Pound+ Yarn in the beautiful Mustard colorway.

Initially, I had planned to use Lion Brand’s Pound of Love, but they’ve discontinued the yellow I used to make our popular Finley blanket, a staple in many of my projects.

But when I came across the Big Twist Value yarn, I knew it was the perfect substitute. Due to its incredible value, softness, and wide range of colors, this yarn has quickly become one of my go-to choices for large projects like this blanket.

The Big Twist Value Pound + yarn worked up beautifully for this pattern and brought out the texture of the puff stitches with its smooth and consistent fiber.

Plus, the mustard color adds a warm, modern touch to the blanket, making it a standout piece in any room.

For this project, you’ll need approximately three skeins of this yarn (about 3,279 yards), along with a 6.0 mm (J-10) crochet hook, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and a pair of scissors.

With these materials, you’re ready to create a cozy and stylish blanket that will become a favorite in your home.

The Stitch: Puff Stitch

The star of the Wynn Blanket is undoubtedly the crochet puff stitch, a crochet technique that adds an incredible, dimensional texture to any project.

The puff stitch was an easy choice for this blanket because it creates a plush, almost three-dimensional look that stands out against the simplicity of the one-color design.

The result is a luxurious and substantial blanket, making it perfect for curling up on the couch or draping over the back of a chair for a stylish touch.

If you’re new to the puff stitch, don’t worry—it’s simpler than it looks and a joy to crochet once you get the hang of it.

The puff stitch is created by working multiple yarn overs and pulling them through the same stitch. This stitch adds texture and warmth to the blanket, making it visually appealing and incredibly cozy.

If you need a refresher or a step-by-step guide on how to crochet the puff stitch, be sure to check out the tutorial video below.

Please note that while the basics of the puff stitch in our pattern are similar to the one in the video, the Wynn blanket pattern calls for one more yarn over, which means you’ll pull through 11 loops on your hook and you will not ch 1 to close the stitch.

Once you’ve mastered it, the puff stitch works up quickly and adds a beautiful texture to your projects.

The Border: Stretchy and Elegant

The border of the Wynn Blanket is one of my favorite finishing touches, as it adds functionality and style to the overall design.

If you’ve ever admired the ribbing on crochet sweaters, you’ll appreciate the border on this blanket, which is crafted similarly.

The stretchy border not only frames the puff stitch texture beautifully but also provides a neat and durable edge that will stand up to regular use. This type of border gives the blanket a polished, professional look, while also allowing it to stretch and move with ease.

I experimented with this border on the Ophelia Tunisian Crochet Blanket, and it’s quickly becoming a go-to technique in my pattern designs.

The flexibility and clean lines it offers are perfect for enhancing the overall structure of a blanket, making it both aesthetically pleasing and practical.

If you’re curious about how to create this particular border, I highly recommend checking out the video tutorial that I used when I first learned it.

The tutorial, which you can find here, walks you through the steps to achieve this beautifully stretchy and elegant border, ensuring your blanket has a flawless finish. Our border is slightly different from the one in the video—instead of doing 9 dc in the corner, you’ll only do 7.
