Hello friends! What have you been working on lately? A few nights ago, my hubby and I were watching an old rerun of The Big Bang Theory<\/a> when I spied an awesome crochet blanket on Amy Farrah Fowler’s couch! I was immediately inspired to start work on a new project. Since I’m currently participating in the Crochet A Block CAL<\/a> from Creative Crochet Workshop, I didn’t want to make another granny square blanket\u00a0right away.<\/p>\n

\"\"Peacock inspired color combination! That lime green really pops in person!<\/em><\/p>\n

Feeling energized to start something new, I\u00a0became obsessed with looking at photos of mixed stitch crochet! The first project I ever completed for myself was a mixed stitch blanket (so I could learn lots of new stitches at one time).<\/p>\n

\"\"My first ever finished piece from a few years ago!<\/em><\/p>\n

I decided I’d like to create one of my own, and share the different steps and stitches with you as a Crochet Along (CAL) project!!<\/p>\n

For this project I chose to use 6 colors, chosen at random throughout the piece.<\/p>\n

I used Red Heart Yarn in Soft Navy<\/a>, Claret<\/a>, Gray Heather<\/a> and Buff<\/a>, as well as Impeccable Yarns in Lavender<\/a> and Deep Forest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I chose to use 6 colors for this blanket, but I want you to use as many (or as few) as you would prefer! You could even do this all in a solid color for a beautifully textured finished piece. I would love to see your progress and finished pieces. Half the joy of creating is sharing it! You can share your work here in the comments, on my\u00a0Facebook<\/a> page, or you can join the Couch Surfer Crocheters<\/a> FB Group!<\/p>\n

If you are on Instagram<\/a> and want to share there, please\u00a0tag me @couchsurfercrochet.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThis blanket will consist of six different stitch types. Written instructions for each stitch can be found HERE<\/strong><\/a>. If you need help mastering these stitches, check out the tutorials at The Crochet Crowd<\/a> and Annie’s Catalog<\/a>! They both\u00a0have very thorough\u00a0videos that can help you master even the most intricate patterns!<\/p>\n

This Crochet Along originally began on April 10, 2017. Every two weeks (every other Monday), I posted 10 rows of the pattern, including all stitches and variations required.<\/p>\n
