The Tidal Textures Throw Crochet-Along (CAL)
The Waves crochet blanket stripe pattern is the 2nd section in the Tidal Textures Throw Crochet-a-Along (CAL).
The crochet-along blanket is made out of 6 stripes (each stripe is approx. 23 cm / 9.5” high and 127 cm / 50” wide) that are worked on top of each other (no joining or sewing here!). Each stripe is separated from the next one with a divider section, except the last one. The divider section is approximately 1 cm / 0.5” tall and 127 cm / 50 inches wide.
Every Wednesday 1 new blanket stripe crochet pattern is released for free here on the blogs. Divider section for this crochet blanket will also be released for free on the blog on the 1st week of this CAL.
Each section comes with written instructions, photo tutorials and a video tutorial. For relevant stripes a stitch chart will also be provided.
Upgrade Your Crochet-Along Experience
We know not everyone likes to jump around the website to follow the CAL because of the ads, so I have put together an eBook for the Tidal Textures Throw Blanket which includes all the 6 different blanket stripe patterns, divider for in between stripes and a border pattern. With over 45 pages of detailed instructions, step-by-step photo tutorials for any special stitches (as well as charts and videos) the blanket eBook is very convenient to follow along.
In addition the eBook, you can choose to upgrade to the Journey Pass for the FULL Crochet-along experience with exclusive Sip & Stitch parties, ad-free access to the videos, a 30-day free trial to the Stitching Squad as well as 1 bonus stripe designs!
