Crochet Macramé Edged Blanket

Crochet Macramé Edged Blanket by Midknits

Project Overview

The Crochet Macramé Edged Blanket is an intermediate-level crochet project designed to create a Modern Boho Chic throw blanket measuring approximately 52.5 inches by 60 inches (excluding fringe). This blanket combines contrasting textures and techniques to produce a versatile home accessory suitable for any room. The design showcases a striking juxtaposition of materials and construction methods, blending a lofty wool blend roving body with smooth cotton edging details and macramé-style crochet embellishments finished with bouncing fringe.

Materials and Yarn

This pattern calls for Bernat Roving, a bulky weight yarn (#5), in the colorway Putty. You will need 12 balls of yarn, with each ball containing 3.5 ounces (100 grams) and yielding 120 yards (109 meters). The wool blend roving creates the soft, cuddly, and warm foundation of the blanket while maintaining excellent loft and texture.

Tools and Equipment

Two crochet hooks of different sizes are required to complete this project:

• US L/11 (8 mm) crochet hook – used for the primary blanket body
• US H/8 (5 mm) crochet hook – used for the cotton edging and detailed work, or sizes as needed to obtain proper gauge

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

The Crochet Macramé Edged Blanket employs intermediate-level crochet techniques that combine traditional stitch work with decorative macramé-style crochet details. The pattern utilizes a combination of fundamental crochet stitches worked with chunky yarn to build the main blanket structure, creating a dense, warm fabric. The edging incorporates macramé-inspired crochet techniques, which add visual interest and texture through knotted or interlocked stitch patterns characteristic of macramé work. The blanket is finished with bouncing fringe, a decorative element that adds movement and a bohemian aesthetic to the final piece.

The contrast between the lofty wool blend roving body and the smooth cotton edging creates distinct textural zones within the blanket. This technique-driven approach allows crocheters to develop skills in working with different yarn weights and hook sizes while achieving professional-looking results.
