Crochet Chic Log Cabin Blanket–FREE PATTERN

Time to get the FREE Crochet Pattern- Crochet Chic Log Cabin Blanket on your hook. The Crochet Chic Log Cabin Blanket is inspired by the beautiful log cabin quilts I’ve admired for years. I took the general idea and strategy of building a log cabin and tweaked it to make it my own.

Some of the differences are these:
-Instead of working one half of the log cabin in a light color and the other in a dark color, I chose 7 bold colors.
-I have the rectangles build around a center square piece that is double the height of the rectangles surrounding it.
-I chose a layout of the blanket in which the 6th rectangle of each motif are lined up to make it look like long lines that are uninterrupted.
-I also chose to use a textured stitch pattern to make each individual square to give even more depth to the piece.
If you are thinking that you want to make this great afghan but maybe make it a little smaller you can totally do that! This blanket is made 7 squares by 7 squares but is easily adjustable to fit the size blanket you need and want! I hope you enjoy my own crochet chic log cabin inspired afghan and will make one of your own. This would make a great heirloom baby blanket for that modern baby in your life!

Crochet Chic Log Cabin Blanket Assembly

Weave in all ends [see video link for burying in ends]. Wash and block all Blocks to size.
Not sure how to block? Don’t worry, I have a video to show you how!

each corner st or space; join with slip st in first hdc—four 3-hdc groups.
Round 2: Ch 2, camel st in each st around, working 3 camel sts in center st of each 3-hdc group; join with slip st in first camel st—four 3-camel st groups.
Rounds 3–7: Ch 2, camel st in each st around, working 3 camel sts in center st of each 3-camel st group; join with slip st in first camel st. Fasten off.
