Learn to make the fun, textured, and cute Mushroom Love Blanket from a free crochet graph. Also great for knitting, tunisian crochet, cross stitch, and any fun fiber arts.

We’re all still making blankets in July, right? Because this week I have a new blanket design I think you’re going to like and want to start on ASAP. Say “hello” to the C2C Mushroom Love Blanket crochet pattern.

If you’ve been around here before, you know I love mushrooms! As soon as I’m done making one design, I can’t wait to make a new one. I am always thinking about silly little mushroom designs – they’re just so cute and they work in a variety of settings. But up to this point they’ve all been rather small projects and I decide to mix things up with a blanket. And sure it’s a billionty degrees outside (I exaggerate of course but it is so hot) but I’m very happy with it.

For this design I drew inspiration from last year’s Mushroom Love Wall Hanging. I had so much fun designing that wall hanging, because it’s got it’s own built in border and the mushrooms are all floating in a claiming green space. When I designed it I thought it was a bit silly, because of the floating but people really liked it and the idea for a blanket was always in the back of my mind. But as you can see, I updated the design to be more! More mushrooms! And bigger! What could be better?

Using Stitch Fiddle I designed this blanket to be worked on the bias, meaning diagonally, as is traditional with Corner to Corner. If you’ve never tried this technique, I totally recommend it. When I learned a few years ago, I used Meghan Makes Do’s tutorial and found it very helpful. Overall, it’s a great way to do a fun and textured color work and you can really get creative with colors and designs. I dream of a fancy geometric design one of these days. 😀 Maybe something with hexagones, they’re the bestagones, as some of you may know.

But if you don’t want to work this design on the bias, you can definitely follow the graph back and forth and make it a large wall hanging in sc or in dc as a mosaic design (one of these days I will dip into mosaic and make some fun designs). Or even tunisian or cross stitch or whatever you can think of to use the graph for. And it’s mushrooms, who wouldn’t love that? 😀

Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you like this week’s pattern 🙂 I think July is a great time to start a blanket or two, so they’ll be ready for Fall!

Please note: I was provided the yarn for this pattern by Lion Brand Yarn for the purposes of designing a kit and used it for the Mushroom Love Blanket crochet pattern, with compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but been using Pound of Love Yarn for as long as I’ve been crocheting, it’s one of my favorite worsted with yarns for blankets. And I was commissioned to make this pattern and you can buy a kit for this pattern on Lion Brand’s Website. This post contains affiliate links.

As is industry standard, this pattern is just a free graph and not written instructions but you can purchase the pattern for a fee in my Ravelry shop.
Each C2C block consists of a ch 3 and of 3 double crochets.
This is a C2C pattern worked from the bottom right corner to the top left corner. It’s a rectangle so you will increase each row from 1 to 65, then rows 66 to 75 you alternate decreasing and increasing, then rows 76 to row 139 you decrease each row.
Yarn wasn’t carried through/ crocheted over the whole blanket. Utilize bobbins/ separate balls of yarn as much as you can.
The odd-numbered rows are worked down and the even-numbered rows are worked up.
The odd-numbered rows are the Right Side.
In the photos Pound of Love by Lion Brand Yarn was used: Color A is white (white), color B is green (Olive), color C is tan (Sugar Cookie), and color D is red (Cherry). Check out the kit from Lion Brand Yarn here.

Notes on bobbins of color for the Mushroom Love Blanket crochet pattern

[Image description] Top down look at the unfinished Mushroom Love Blanket with skeins of yarn along the top left side of the photo.

As the photo on the above demonstrates, separate balls of yarn were used for the separate sections of color. This helps to keep the back tidy and conserves yarn. However, for the spots on the mushroom caps the yarn was carried/ crocheted over both white and red as needed, keeping it to one ball each for that section
For this design I suggest creating balls of yarn in these amounts:
