Crochet Monet Afghan Blanket

Create your very own handmade crochet blanket that features a unique and eye-catching design with this crochet monet afghan pattern. This unique twist on a traditional crochet blanket is a great way to showcase your creativity and craftsmanship, while also adding a touch of whimsy to your home decor. So grab your crochet hook and get ready to create a truly special piece that will be the envy of all your friends and family.

Materials:

  • Yarn 
  • Crochet hook

The finished afghan measures approximately 46”X66”.

Each square measures 13” x 13”

Make 12:

Materials: Worsted Weight yarn – (shown in Red Heart “Water Lily”)
I used one 6 oz skein for each square (it’s important not to start a new skein in the middle of the square because of the patterning of the colors)
And two 8 oz skeins of white for the joining and the border
Size H crochet hook

Row 1: Ch 47, sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across. (46 sc)

Row 2: Ch 1, (sc, 2 dc) in first st, *skip 2 sc, (sc, 2 dc) in next st * across. Sc in last st.

Row 3-33: Ch 1, (sc, 2 dc) in each single crochet across ending with a sc in the last st.

Row 34, sc in each st across. Do not fasten off. Sc evenly around square working 3 sc in each corner. Fasten off.

Join squares together using a simplified Lattice Technique (origin unknown) as follows:

Rnd 1: With contrasting color join with a sc in any corner, work 2 more sc in same st, work 47 sc on each side and work 3 sc in each corner. Join with a slip st.

Rnd 2: Slip st into corner st. Ch1, (sc, ch 4, sc) in same st. (Ch 3, skip 2 sc, sc in next st) around, working (sc, ch 4, sc) in each corner st. Slip st to first sc, fasten off.

Lay the squares out in a 3 by 4 pattern. First join squares together to make three long strips with four squares each. Then join the three strips together to create ghan. Join by making a sc in corner loop, ch 3, sc in corresponding loop on opposite square. Ch 3, sc in next loop of first square, ch 3, sc in corresponding loop of opposite square, and so on back and forth.

Once joined, edge entire afghan by working three rounds of (sc, ch 3) in each loop.

Why is it called a «money blanket»?
