Crochet Blended Love Blanket

This Blended Love Blanket is crocheted by using 2 shades of your favorite color, to “blend” them together using some interesting textured stitches.

I chose Red Heart Ombré in Deep Teal and Anemone to create this generous afghan that is big enough for 2 to snuggle under together.  Think about upcoming weddings.  Perfect to pick the happy couple’s favorite colors to crochet this gift blanket.

This finished project is 52″ x 74″, but you can resize using the multiples of 16 + 18.

You can use any solids or self-striping yarn too to give it your own look to match any decor.

    Hi, I’m really having a hard time with row 34. Is it supposed to line up with the previous rows? It looks a little wacky. I’m a beginner and would like some help.

    1. Mikey says:
      April 18, 2021 at 1:27 pm

      I believe I received an email on this same question. I have already responded to that about an hour or so ago.

  2. Debra Timmer says:
    February 14, 2021 at 5:36 pm

    Row 34. Should there be a sk dc before all the (sc,dc,sc,dc) in next stitch. The peaks and low parts arent lining up without one.

    1. Jeanne says:
      February 15, 2021 at 6:35 am

      I don’t believe so. If I remember right, the first row after the change looks a bit wonky, but by the second row, it straightens out.

  3. Lynn Stilborn says:
    October 15, 2020 at 12:30 pm

    What size are the skeins listed in the pattern? My local yarn retailer only has 10oz balls of the ombre. Thanks?

    1. Marina King says:
      October 15, 2020 at 1:53 pm

      each ombre ball is 10oz – 482 yards

  4. Jen Cohen says:

    I don’t have access to the smaller 4.5mm hook. Would I be better off going smaller with the 4 or up to the 5? I understand gauge maybe affected, I’m just hoping to have the bobbles blend correctly with the rest of pattern.

    1. Mikey says:
      October 14, 2020 at 8:18 am

      I’ll check with Jeanne. I don’t know off the top of my head. I don’t know what the tension is between the two stitches.

    2. Jeanne says:
      October 14, 2020 at 8:27 am

      It’s been quite a while since I made this one. Are you loose or tight? Try the 4 and keep it loose or 5 and keep it tight. Or maybe switch altogether to the 4 and 5. Experiment a bit and see how it goes.

  5. Lois OBrien says:
    May 4, 2020 at 5:41 pm

    I want to make the blended love blanket. I’m a seasoned crocheter. I’m stuck on row 2!!! Can you explain it in simple language.? I’m probably over thinking this. Thanks so much. Hopefully I will have an ah ha moment.

    1. Jeanne says:
      May 5, 2020 at 9:58 am

      Hi Lois. What part are you struggling with? You are creating a chevron. Can you please be more specific? Don’t overthink it. Trust what you are reading and just take it one stitch at a time. ~ Jeanne

      1. Lois OBrien says:
        May 7, 2020 at 10:38 am

        On row 2, at the first * I skip a SC, then I SC, DC in the SC. Now, do I go on to skip sc, SC, dc, SC ,DC in the next sc. Now do I go back to the first * ?? The first * will be done 6 times, and the ** will be done 11 times. I’ve made 3 hugs and kisses blankets and can’t get this one. Hope I explained this right.

      2. Jeanne says:
        May 7, 2020 at 4:09 pm

        Can you please email me at [email protected] ? I will do a little video for you.

    I love this blanket, worked my way through rows 1 and 2 but am having trouble with row 3. I’m not really sure what stitches are being repeated 11 times! Would greatly appreciate your help!

    I am really confused about row 3, somehow it just doesn’t make sense to me. Could you explain more clearly, it’s probably just me, I learn by watching, too bad there isn’t a tutorial. If you could help I would sure appreciate it

  12. Rebecca says:
    May 7, 2019 at 7:01 pm

    Hi, I’m really wanting to make this blanket, but have difficultiy reading patterns. I’m curious when you say drop color and pick up the next color, are we to leave it there or take the drop color to the other end of the row to be able to pick it back up? This is at the end of row 15, to drop & pick up then on row 16 to drop color & pick up again. Im not positive how we are to do that and have been looking for tutorials on doing this but can’t find any. Please help. Thanks.

    Ps. would really love a tutorial on this blanket too.

  16. Diane says:

    Row 34? There are no sc in row 33! Help

    1. Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says:
      April 21, 2019 at 8:20 am

      Yes, you are correct. Where ever it says to work into a sc, should just be st. I’m so sorry. It was tested by 2, but sometimes those small things are hard to catch.

  17. Diane says:
    April 20, 2019 at 7:45 pm

    Row 34? There are NO single crochet from the previous row. Please help! Thank you!

  18. Patty says:
    April 15, 2019 at 8:54 pm

    I’m having difficulties. I’m usually not super challenged but for some reason am having trouble at row 20. A video would be awesome, but maybe a diagram would solve my problem. Please consider…. Thank you! It’s beautiful!

    1. Kit says:
      May 30, 2019 at 7:34 pm

      I can’t get row 20 to work out right either!! I’m not a novice, and I’d swear I’m doing everything right on the row below and row 20, but it’s not lining up!!!

      1. Devin Folks says:
        May 30, 2019 at 8:17 pm

        I will have Jeanne revisit this again. 🙂 Thanks for your patience.

    Thankyou for responding to my question on a tutorial for the Blended Blanket. Will you be making one in the future ???

    1. Linda says:

      Please make a tutorial for the Blended Love Blanket. Thankyou.

    Do you have a tutorial on the Blended Love Blanket ? I would LOVE to make this blanket. I especially like your color combinations. I am terrible at choosing color combinations and yours are gorgeous! ? I am having trouble following written patterns, but can follow tutorial. Thankyou.

    1. Mikey, The Crochet Crowd says:
      April 13, 2019 at 1:21 pm

      No we haven’t filmed anything yet for this blanket I’m sorry.

      1. Diane says:
        April 17, 2019 at 7:30 pm

        Do you use a H and I hook for this? What letter is size 7?

      2. Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says:
        April 19, 2019 at 9:57 am

        Size 7 in US does not have a letter associated with it. It’s a 4.5 mm hook.

      3. Diane says:
        April 20, 2019 at 7:47 pm

        Row 34, there are no sc from row 33. Help

      4. Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says:
        April 21, 2019 at 8:22 am

        I’m sure it’s because I did a copy and paste from an earlier row. Again, my apologies. Hope this helps.

      5. Lorie M says:
        April 19, 2019 at 4:17 pm

        Hi Mikey or Jeanne

        Can you please do a tutorial on the Blended Love Blanket?? I have a hard time understanding this written pattern. I would like to see how you’re doing it. It will be more helpful for me and everyone. It’s a very beautiful blanket.

        Thank you!

        I’m looking at your photographs of the blanket. Were two blankets made or just one and they look different under lighting? I have to order this yarn online and I want to make sure I am ordering the right set of colors. From what I can tell one blanket is more blue and purple and the other more teal and corals. Can you clarify?

      7. Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says:
        April 27, 2019 at 11:09 pm

        It’s only one blanket. It’s the lighting. I’m just a hobbyist photographer. I get a bit frustrated sometimes trying to capture the true colors of the yarn. I’d say more teals and darker pinks, not corals.

      8. Jessica Lopez says:
        May 17, 2019 at 4:04 am

        How many skeins of each color?

        May 22, 2019 at 12:08 am

        Pooh bumz hoping there might be a chance for a tutorial to be made for this pattern…one day

      11. Mikey says:
