If you're looking for your next go-to crochet blanket pattern, I think you're going to fall in love with the Emmy Blanket.
This waffle stitch crochet blanket combines stunning texture with the magic of self-striping yarn, resulting in a project that's both eye-catching and soothing to work on.
And the best part? It's regular crochet, not Tunisian, so it's accessible even if you're just diving into textured blanket patterns.
Why You'll Love the Emmy Blanket
The Emmy Blanket was designed as the sister pattern to the Bella Blanket, a Tunisian crochet favorite.
I heard from so many of you who loved the Bella’s texture but preferred to stick with traditional crochet.
So I went to work creating a hybrid waffle stitch that captures the same gorgeous texture, just with a hook and yarn you're already comfortable using.
Here's what makes this blanket special:
- Incredible Texture – A custom waffle stitch design that looks and feels luxe
- Simple Color Play – Let the self-striping yarn do the work while you pair it with a solid for contrast
- Multiple Sizes Included – From lovey to king size (pattern includes 9 sizes!)
- Beginner-Friendly Construction – If you’re comfortable with basic stitches, you can make this blanket (the video is very detailed and walks you through every step!)
- Perfect Gift or Home Accent – It works just as beautifully for nurseries as it does for cozying up on the couch
