Whew! I finally dusted off the old crochet hooks and haven’t been able to put them down since!
You know what I think when I look around my house (that is full of blankets)? This place needs more blankets. If you know you know. Handmade blankets are just better!
This beautiful and textured color block blanket is super easy and works up really quickly!
Premier Yarn’s Serentity Chunky is so soft and squishy and warm, you’ll want like, 100 blankets out of this stuff! My kids were taking turns snuggling under it while I was working on it!

Repeat rows 73-80 until blanket is at the desired width.
My finished blanket measures 33″ W x 39″ L
Adding Tassels
Wrap yarn around small notebook (or something similar) 20 times. Cut one end. Use 2-3 pieces of yarn for each tassel and attach evenly spaced on each end by pulling looped end though end of row and pulling cut end though the looped end.
And there you have it! You can adjust the length of this blanket by adding more chains in the beginning chain, just be sure to chain an even number! You can adjust the width by adding or subtracting rows.
