Bring the rich, vibrant colors of fall into your home with the Pumpkin Patch Blanket! Perfect for snuggling up on chilly evenings on the sofa, draping over a couch, or styling as a seasonal touch to your space. In warm, chunky yarn this blanket works up quickly so, whether you gift it or keep it for yourself, the Pumpkin Patch Blanket is a cozy celebration of autumn.

Method:
Pumpkins in beautiful autumnal colours are turned into large squares then joined by the Zigzag Slip Stitch Join (representing the twisting vines and tendrils). A simple border then frames the pumpkin patch.

This pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms. It contains written round by round instructions, step by step photos, and photo tutorials for all special stitches. A separate Zigzag Slip Stitch Join tutorial pdf is also included.

Size:
Worked at the gauge stated below the completed blanket measures approx. 49” (124 cm) square.
Instructions are given for the blanket pictured, which was constructed with 25 Pumpkin Patch squares joined in a 5x5 configuration. However, the border is designed to accommodate any configuration and number of squares that you wish so that you can make larger or smaller square or even rectangular blankets. Notes to help with this are included.

Gauge:
Using Chunky (Bulky) yarn completed square measures approx. 9” (23 cm). Using worsted weight (aran), DK or 4 ply yarn will result in a smaller square, using jumbo yarn will result in a larger square.

Yarn:
This pattern was designed with Cygnet Chunky, a 100% acrylic yarn with 155m in 100g balls.
