The Inspiration Behind This Easy V-Stitch Crochet Blanket

My son A asked me for a blanket for his (also his brothers) room, so he had something to keep cozy while reading. I had made my other son a color-blocked throw, which meant it was his turn to have his own too!

He loves Harry Potter now and reads every day! Yep, proud mama here. If he asks for a blanket to read, I am most definitely going to oblige him! Since his room is a gray, navy, and white sports theme, we wanted a blanket that would go with that color scheme.

So, we picked (OK, he did) the matching colors in yarn from Lion Brandand I had the green light to get started! The yarn for this post was generously supplied by my friends over at Lion Brand Yarn! Thank you!

The Yarn That’s Perfect for The V Stitch Double Crochet Blanket

We decided to go with the Color Made Easy yarn line because of the current color choices, plus I can never pass up a great #5 bulky yarn! It is a five weight yarn and has amazing color choices to pick from.

If you have ever worked with Woolspun from Lion Brand, this yarn has a very similar feel and look to that line. Ultimately, we ended up with the colors Shade, Birch, and Huckleberry, which matches his & his brothers’ room perfectly!

The Yarn

Color Made Easy

This yarn is made by Lion Brand, and is a Weight 5 – Bulky yarn.
