Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this throw a different size?
So here’s the thing… adapting the size is totally possible! You’ll want to check the stitch multiple in the pattern to figure out how many chains to add or subtract to make it wider or smaller. That way, you won’t end up with a super skinny blanket… or an extra wide one!
I’m having trouble finding the charts… where are they?
Honestly… sometimes those links can be a little tricky to spot! The charts are available on the page, and there’s also a full video tutorial that walks you through reading them. Just look for the section labeled “Row by Row Instruction Charts/Spreadsheets” or the “Full Video Tutorial” link!
What yarn did you use for this blanket?
Yes! The yarn used in the throw is Red Heart Classic Yarn. You can find more details and links to it right in the “Materials” section of the pattern. It’s a great yarn for cozy blankets like this!
Is there a video tutorial for this pattern?
You bet! There’s a super informative video tutorial on the Marly Bird YouTube Channel. I show you how to read the written instructions and also how to use the row-by-row chart that makes crocheting this blanket even easier… it’s a lifesaver!
How many skeins of yarn do I need?
That’s a great question for newbies! If you head over to the pattern itself, you’ll see how many balls of yarn are needed. Just multiply that number by the yards in each ball, and you’ll know the total amount for each color. It’s usually easier to find that info right on the pattern page.

Only thing I would like to add is that many newe crocheters have a hard time with the reverse single crochet, so I recommend having them do the twisted single crochet on the edges.
Found this today – Atleisure Stripinhg Throw. Watched your video, downloaded the pattern – so far so good. Went to download the charts and had a heck of a time finding them and getting to fit in a document. Have no idea if I’ll be able to understand when I get ready to start. lol Love the looks of this blanket and so want it to come out as nice as yours. I’m fairly new to crochet and love all of your videos! THANKS
Love this blanket. Not sure about row 96, shouldn’t it be chain 2, turn? Not fasten off.
I have also found the use of stitch markers very helpful. Thanks for all your great toutorials!
Marly, have you corrected the color sequence chart/spreadsheet? If not, I will try to recreate the chart for my use.
Thanks you ever so much,you have help me 100 percent. Marly you are just so happy and buting a smile on this old soul.Stay as you are just beauitful lady.
Hi Marley , you begin the stitches with the white but in the picture it shows blue. I’m I correct ???
Hi Marly.. I would like to try this blanket but can it be adapted? Is there a multiple number of chains or something to make it wider or smaller?
Really wish you would give us an idea how many skeins needed. That informationi would be very helpful for newbies, especially if we’re using yarns with lot numbers.
Hi Barbara-If you head over to the pattern you will see how many balls you need. Take that number and multiply by the number of yards in each ball. Then you will know the total amount for each color. You can then use that number to translate it into other yarns. Hope that helps! https://bit.ly/2lQNodl_AthleisureStripingThrowPattern
Thanks Marly. I am constantly amazed at people who ask questions, that are in the instructions, or video. Now here I am, guilty of the same. I printed the instructions as well as the color graph, yet missed the answer to my one question. Sorry!
Miss Marly, I absolutely love this blanket! I have been searching high and low for a cute blanket for my cousins new baby boy who will be arriving after the New Year. So, now that I’ve found what has settled my creative heart I’m hoping you could tell me the stitch multiple so I can down size it for baby?? I thought about trying to literally cut the pattern in half, ch 60, but I realized I’d end up with a super skinny long blanket lol. Help pls.

Hi Marly, Love the video on the blanket but after downloading the pattern I went looking for the download on the worksheet and can’t seem to find it. Can you help with a link to download the worksheets you made?
