Crochet Striped Blanket
You can use any yarn and hook size that you like. I used Red Heart Comfort yarn, which is an economic yarn. It is not my favorite yarn to work with, but it comes out nicely in the wash, and therefore, I do prefer the yarn for afghans and blankets.
Other similar patterns that you might enjoy are this fall striped afghan, the alternating afghan or this broomstick popcorn afghan.

Such a lovely blanket! By starting with a chain 201, definitely know this one took quite some time, but it shows in your finished blanket. I love it – including the color combination :) Pinned.
