Crochet Fall Themed Blanket

This crochet fall themed granny square blanket will be worked on with many crocheters in a crochet along! Find all the information and patterns below.

The Fall Themed Blanket is made up of granny squares and appliques. This is one of many of my themed granny square afghans. You can find more like it here.

This blanket pattern will be released in parts as a crochet along starting on August 1st.

You can purchase the entire PDF pattern on Ravelry or Etsy.

Below is the list of materials you will need in order to complete the blanket. I am aware that many yarns sell out quickly so I have also included yarn substitutes (underneath the list) that will also work for this project.

Sign Up

You can sign up here for the crochet along. You will get emails each week a new part is released along with important updates.

Yarn Substitutes

Any worsted weight acrylic yarn will work for this project. I have listed two alternatives with close matching colors and amount of skeins below.
NOTE: I did not include what is needed for the appliques in the colors/amounts below. You will need additional colors for the appliques that you may be able to find in your stash/scrap yarns.
ANOTHER NOTE: I have chosen these colors to best match the colors I chose from Paintbox, but they aren’t all exact color matches. Also, they were chosen online so it may be best to shop in store for best color coordination.
