Crochet Bumble Berry Pie Afghan

Comments

Inspired by the colours of Bumble Berry Pie, I dared push the limits and challenged myself to create as many different combinations of squares throughout this pattern. Here's the trick though... I used only one type of yarn ball to make it happen. Used in this pattern is Bernat's Mosaic Brand, color is called Medusa. The colour transitions so slowly that each square potentially looks unique to itself. I also suggest using half of the balls from the inside string going out and the other have pulling from the outside of the ball working in. This doubles your colour combinations available.

Crochet HookH/8 or 5 mm hook

Yarn Weight(4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)

Finished Size5.25 feet by 5.25 feet

Materials List

  • Bernat Mosaic Yarn (Color used was Medusa). Any Bernat Mosaic Yarn coloring will produce similar results. - Skeins: 17 (13 Skeins to construct Squares and 3 skeins for joining and outside perimeter border.
  • 5.5 MM hook or H

Note:

  • Mosaic Yarn is thinner and value yarn. It will produce smaller squares but are ideal for the coloring achieved.
  • No color changing is required, the yarn will do the work for you.
  • This blanket will take between 26 – 30 hours to complete.

Squares (Make 143)

  5. Once 128 are made, begin attaching method. If you prefer your squares to be vertical and horizontal. Changes in the layout and granny square counts will change.

  6. Attaching: Follow perimeter around like a regular granny square stitch to ensure the border is nice and clean looking.
