Skybound Sampler Blanket

"Lately, I've found myself more and more passionate about helping fellow crocheters take that exciting leap beyond the basics. Simple stitches are wonderful and so versatile—but crochet offers a world of textures, techniques, and creative possibilities just waiting to be explored. Trying out advanced methods like post stitches, filet crochet, or bobbles can feel intimidating—but with the right support, it's a thrilling journey. That’s why I’m beyond excited to introduce the Skybound Sampler Blanket: a crochet pattern designed to gently guide you out of your comfort zone and into new stitch adventures. Each section of the blanket is available for free on my blog, complete with video tutorials for both right- and left-handed crocheters. Some sections—like the filet crochet—also include helpful diagrams. Choose a solid color for a clean, modern look, or go bold with multiple colors to create striking stripes and visual flair."

Since each stripe has a different stitch pattern, to meet gauge for each stripe and have even edges on your blanket, we recommend you go down or up a hook size for some sections so you can get the same gauge for every section as some stitch patterns are tighter or looser than others.
