Irish Sea Blanket Crochet Pattern
Introducing...The Irish Sea Blanket!
This blanket makes me HAPPY! It is squishy and soft, but with this stitch pattern makes little breathable holes for a weather-versatile blankie!
And if you want to go to town with the colors--
go for it! You can even mix up the stripe width if you choose! I like providing options with my designs that let people use their creativity--and the yarn they have in their stash! (Saves money, right?!)
I made this baby-sized sample blanket with cotton, cotton blends and even a wool blend from my stash! But I wrote the pattern so you can make it any size you wish! I also designed it with only a border on the top and bottom edges because this stitch pattern makes really nifty sides that don't look wonky and don't "ask" for a border, anyway!
And did I mention that this baby has a terrific accordion-like stretch!? It is magical, I tell ya! Plus, the front and back look equally fab!

Thanks to my testers for doing such a wonderful job! This is what they said about the pattern...
"It is a lovely pattern, works up very quickly, and has a terrific texture."
"Love, love, LOVE this! The texture! The movement of the stitches! The border! Squeeeeeee! Fabulous!"
You can find the pattern in my shops:
And may I just take a minute to give you a virtual squeeze and tell you how much I appreciate you! This week I celebrated the 2 year anniversary of Felted Button. Maybe I'll share a little post about this fabulous adventure that YOU have made possible by following me around in my crazy, colorful, yarny Felted Button loop!! And if you really want to hang out with some other like-minded, yarny folks, join in my Felted Button Facebook group here.
