Crochet Striped Blanket

Create this simple crochet striped blanket!

This blanket uses a size I crochet hook, 10 balls of medium worsted weight yarn (main color) and 1 ball of medium worsted weight yarn in white. This blanket works up pretty quickly (for a blanket).

I worked off and on a couple hours a day and it took me about 2 weeks to complete.

The final blanket measures 59″ X 50″.

When changing colors, leave a long tail to weave in later. Do not crochet over the tail as the ends will poke out of the blanket.
