Mix and Match Modern Crochet Blankets

Create thousands of different striped blankets in crochet with this unique mix-and-match approach. Combine the band patterns in myriad ways for modern homewares, including blankets, throws, table runners, and more. Create one-of-a-kind striped modular blankets with this distinctive method.

Featuring 100 crochet band patterns for modern stripe blankets, Mix and Match Modern Crochet Blankets opens up a world of design possibilities for crochet blankets, as how you choose to combine the bands is entirely up to you!

Making modular blankets is not a new concept, but most books tend to focus on granny squares to achieve this. By crocheting individual bands instead, you can achieve a much more modern look, with pattern, colour and texture variations tailored to suit your individual style. Working in this modular way makes blankets achievable, portable, and fun.

Each band pattern is provided in US crochet terms, with a written pattern and chart for making a standard throw-blanket-width band (50in across). Advice is given on altering the width of the bands for smaller or larger blankets.

In addition to the 100 bands, there are 5 example blankets showing different combinations of bands, plus additional ideas for using the bands in other ways, such as table runners, bolster pillows, and trims for a wide range of projects.
