Crocheted from the center outward using chenille yarn, this large and cozy afghan is a warm welcome to cold winter days. Warm as a woolen blanket and washable, this clever design is a keeper with its faux pom edging in lovely mint for a dash of color and whimsy.

Bonus: You can use the same pattern to make a rug in the t-shirt yarn of your choosing or roll your own plarn from plastic bags, your project, your yarn, you decide.

When you want a bit of comfort on a cold winter night or a splash of color for the back of the sofa, this circular blanket is sure to please. The pattern was written to suit a queen size bed so don’t let the yardage scare you. Crocheted in the round from the center out, stop when the size suits you or keep on going until you run out of yarn.

The funky pompoms are crocheted onto the finished blanket, as presented it took two balls of Bella Chenille to make the pompom edging, so buy an extra ball if you are making a bigger version.

Chenille yarn tends to be fuzzy so instead of cutting the pompoms as one may traditional expect, I figured out another approach so grab your hook and see how I did it.
