It’s time for another Tunisian crochet pattern! Meet the Ethan Throw – a blanket featuring a beautiful stitch and self-striping yarn that creates the perfect lightweight blanket to snuggle up under.
You can purchase a printable PDF of this pattern at our shop here or Etsy here.
I’m continuing my quest to create as many different crochet blanket patterns with self-striping yarn as possible. I didn’t really plan to make this a thing, but it’s now a thing.
Here are a few of my other patterns featuring this yarn:
And if that’s not enough, here’s a round-up of even more self-striping yarn patterns from around the interwebs.
Yep, needless to say, I’m a bit obsessed.
It probably has to do with the fact that I love stripes, but I don’t like weaving in a bunch of ends. 😉
Right now, I’m working on another crochet camping blanket to celebrate the beginning of the camping season. Most likely it’ll be with self-striping yarn, but we’ll see…
The Ethan Throw
The Ethan throw is made using a solid gray colored yarn and a beautiful Mandala self-striping yarn that features blues, greens, yellows, purple and red.
If you’re familiar with Tunisian crochet stitches, you just might recognize the smock stitch.
I’ve been wanting to make a blanket with this stitch forever but knew I wanted to mix it up a little and not just do a solid color.
After a few experiments and some smock stitch practicing, the Ethan throw was born.
I also made one of these blankets with cream yarn and another Mandala colorway.
