Graphic pink, green and orange crochet blanket in linen stitch resembling flower; Radiant Blanket by Susan Carlson | Felted Button | Colorful Crochet Patterns

It's Simply Radiant!

I'm super excited to be sharing my newest crochet blanket pattern! I'm calling it

Wanna see?

I called it that because the off-center "flower" continues to radiate out until surrounded by a leafy-colored background to the blanket's edges. I'm really tickled by the crisp, clean and modern design. And the colors, well, I always like lots of color, right?

I made the blanket with a simple linen stitch rectangle and decided that using a join-as-you-go on the final round would make it really quick to put together. I'm pretty pleased with the result--especially the color layout that makes it look like a graphic off-set flower.

The pattern includes a color placement diagram with the 12 colors of Scheepjes *Colour Crafter used in the sample (19 balls total), but with 94 gorgeous shades to choose from in the Colour Crafter line you could create your own beautiful palette, too. Grab yours from *Deramores, *Wool Warehouse or from local retailers. You can read more about this yarn and see other patterns I've made with it here, here, here and here. (Can you tell I love this yarn?!)

For those of you who are not so savvy with join-as-you-go, or even downright intimidated, I provide nearly 30 detailed pictures to show you the process to get you through. Although the rectangles are fairly simple and repetitive, I've classified the pattern as Intermediate due to the join-as-you-go used.

The afghan is a perfect size, in my opinion--a generous 62 inches (158cm) square. Great for snuggling under or draping over a chair.
