Wedding Blanket Crochet-along

Crochet-alongs are so much fun and they are even more fun when you do it with your friends. When you join a CAL or KAL you get to work on the same project with everyone that is joining. For this special crochet-along I will be working with my designer friends to create a beautiful finished project.

Wedding Blanket CAL with the Red Heart Joy Creators-Purchase Chic Sheep to make your blanket

*This post contains affiliate links. By clicking on one of these links and making a purchase a portion will go to the blog. The price you pay will not change and the small commission I receive helps me to keep brining you free content and giveaways on the blog. Thank you for your continued support.*

The Wedding Blanket Crochet-along:

On the Red Heart team we have a wonderful leader of the Joy Creators, named Ally. Ally got married in May and we wanted to do something very special for her. I got the Joy Creators together and we each made a square to put together to make a wedding blanket for Ally and her husband.

Now that we have all of these squares we wanted to share them with all of you and put together this community crochet-along. You will need to check the blog posts of the individual designers to know what your material requirements are. Through the project we all used Chic Sheep by Marly Bird™ to create and heirloom project for Ally.

Wedding Blanket CAL with the Red Heart Joy Creators-Purchase Chic Sheep to get started with us

What you need to know:

Each week on Monday and Friday there will be a new square released. Head to this blog post each week to get the new pattern.

Since each designer crochets with a different tension it will be very important to check the size of your squares as you go. They are all designed to be 12″ by 12″. Using this size square will give you a 5′ by 5′ blanket when finished. Keep checking that your squares are close to the right size to all of the others to make it easier to seam in the end.

At the end we will share the border pattern that we used. Feel free to use all of the squares or just the ones that you love and make multiple of them.

    Am I missing a place where the yardage of each color is given? I don’t see it here or in the first block pattern.

    • Marly Bird says

      May 21, 2019 at 6:11 am

      Hi Sarah- Since the blocks are each done by a different designer they will each tell you the yardage needed. We don’t have an overall yardage amount, sorry.

    Is there going to be an option to buy it all as one PDF at the end? I have a hard time paying $50 for one blanket pattern.

    Have I missed the total yardage of each color somewhere? How much yarn to buy for all?

      Hi Lorraine- Since each block is coming from a different designer you will need to check with them to see what yardage you need for each block. Sorry, we don’t have a total yardage amount.

      They should all be on the site now. We have to wait until the block is posted and then we can link back to it. Hope you having a great time with the blanket. Be sure to post it on Ravelry so that we can all see your progress!

    I am not seeing the pattern links for the last two – Elk Studio and American Crochet. Is it just me or is there a problem? Loving the pattern so far and I am crocheting it as a wedding present for relatives in Australia!

      That is so amazing! Can’t wait to see your finished blanket! If the link doesn’t go anywhere it means that we don’t have that block yet. We get them updated as soon as we get the link from the designer. Sorry about the wait.

      Hi Chris-we post the link to the pattern as soon as it is available from the designer. We are always updating the links. If you can’t click it yet it just means that it wasn’t posted yet. They will be updated as soon as we can.

    I love these blocks. I noticed that some do not have the links to the patterns yet. Are they coming soon?
    7/8/19–ELK Studio
    7/19/19–GoodKnit Kisses
    7/22/19–Marly Bird
    Also, is there a square in the blanket that is duplicated? There are 25 squares, but only 24 scheduled dates for the squares to be revealed.
    Will there be a chart matching the square to the correct space on the blanket at the end?
