Granny Stripe Blanket Patterns: 7 Free Designs

Since there’s a color change in nearly every row here, stitch markers to flag where you left off make picking the project back up much easier.

6. Granny Stripe Crochet Pattern
Carmen Heffernan at Annie Design Crochet works rows of three-double-crochet clusters in a two-row repeat, adaptable to any yarn weight; her sample uses DK or light worsted on a 4.5mm hook, with a foundation chain in multiples of three plus two. View the pattern.
7. Granny Stripe
Sarah-Jayne Fragola at Bella Coco Crochet builds her stripe from treble-based clusters (skip 2, 3 tr in the next stitch) worked in rows, recommending DK weight yarn on a 5mm hook with flexible color-change intervals. Flexible color-change intervals mean you can stripe as often or as rarely as you like, rather than following a fixed row count. View the pattern.
