10. Exquisite Crochet UK – Lilly Blanket

Choosing a gingham blanket pattern
If you’ve never carried two colors before, start with Daisy Farm Crafts or Craft-Mart: both crochet over the unused strand so you never cut yarn mid-row. Want texture instead of a flat grid? Kristyn Crochets’ granny stripes or the Lilly Blanket’s Tunisian columns both break up the usual look. Sewrella and Sigoni Macaroni skip colorwork counting entirely by building the checks from separate pieces.
