If you love texture but stick to regular crochet, the Emmy Blanket was made for you.
After I figured out how to create a waffle stitch in Tunisian crochet for the Bella Blanket, so many of you asked for a version that didn't require a Tunisian hook. You loved the texture but wanted to stick with the tools and stitches you already knew.
So I got to work developing a hybrid waffle stitch that captures that same squishy, textured look using regular crochet. The result pairs that custom stitch with the built-in color magic of self-striping yarn, no Tunisian hook required.

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
