Wonder Crochet Blanket 2016 Crochet Along

Happy 2016, my friends!
January kicks off our Wonder Crochet Blanket CAL where we’ll use one or more colors to create our “wonder” blanket! The Wonder Crochet Blanket Crochet Along is hosted by Crochet With Us & American Crochet Group.

You can use 2 or more colors to crochet this throw pattern, or you can choose a variegated yarn that you will enjoy admiring every time you see it. If you prefer, you can use 1 color and let the textures of the stitches make your heart sing. There is no right or wrong way to crochet this stunning blanket. We are  excited to be starting this crochet pattern with you!

What’s a Wonder Blanket you ask?

Well, let me give you the scoop! In a way you could say the Wonder Blanket is like a “mystery” project. But…the Wonder Throw is designed to both keep intrigued and left wanting more. Every other week we will crochet one section of the pattern, so by early November we end up with a gorgeous textured throw blanket that sends us joy. Change colors based on how you prefer your blanket to be. If you want to change colors every section, great! If not, that’s totally fine too. We will leave those details up to you.

Here is the break-down to help you prepare before you begin this crochet-along. I will provide monthly updates on the progress of each throw throughout the year. At the very end we will review the whole year and add a simple edging to each blanket if you wish.

Resources and Things You Can Do To Get Ready

  1. Bookmark this page for complete details on crocheting a wonder throw blanket! The links for each section of the CAL will be shared in this post.
  2. Follow the hashtag #CWUACWONDERCAL2016 to see everyone’s progress. Don’t forget to post and tag your own WIPs throughout 2016! I love seeing them!
  3. If you get stuck and need help, or just want to share pictures of your progress: Join the American Crochet Group and Crochet With Us CAL Group on Facebook, for assistance with the CAL – both groups are lovely and filled with helpful caring Crocheters who are willing to help assist each other.

Basic Material Requirements to Crochet a Wonder Blanket

Hook and Notions

  • I (5.5mm) hook. Follow yarn manufacturers hook recommendations on label
  • Scissors
  • Stitch Markers (optional)
  • Blunt needle
  • Tape Measure

Picking Yarn for your throw

Wonder Blanket CAL | American Crochet @americancrochet.com

How much yarn do I need for this blanket?
You will need roughly 3,000 yards of #4 worsted weight yarn (Includes edging). NOTE: this depends on the type of yarn and hook you use. If you decide to use a different weight of yarn you will use the recommended hook size that is on your yarn’s label.

The yarn that we have selected for the blanket is Red Heart Soft yarn (roughly) 12 skeins of 250 yards (you decide which color/colors – some may choose stripes and some may choose a solid color)

What colors should I use to crochet this throw?
You choose which color/colors that you prefer! Some may choose stripes and some may choose a solid color. You get to select your own yarns, colors score! 

Another great thing about this crochet along is that you get to use up that scrap yarn in your stash! You don’t have to run to the store or wait endlessly by the door for your yarn order to arrive. How awesome is that? I mean unless you just need an excuse to buy new yarn. LOL

  • We will crochet one section on our blanket every other week.
  • Every other week we will provide a stitch pattern for you to use.
  • If you get a few weeks behind, you can easily catch up as the rows are quick and easy to whip up.
