We’re making the Layered Patch Blanket by crocheting each of the 13 colourful layers on top of each other. There’s no joining of patches required at the end.

You have the option to make the Layered Patch Blanket with super chunky yarn or 10ply / worsted weight yarn. The size of the blanket is the same with the different sized yarns, with the size and number of the stitches varying. The super chunky version has bigger stitches that are easier to crochet.

The stitches in the rows vary throughout each layer with the focal point being the beautiful V’s that mark the end of one layer and the start of the next.
