30 Aug Alfonsina Blanket
INSPIRATION + DESIGN
The Alfonsina blanket is crocheted with simple yet charming stitches, inspired by the unique vibes of autumn: shorter days, the golden afternoon light, and that cozy feeling of wanting to snuggle up at home.
With a carefully chosen palette of four colors, Alfonsina is not just a blanket—it’s also a decorative touch that brings the spirit of fall into any corner of your home. Perfect for curling up on crisp afternoons, enjoying a cup of tea, or adding a warm accent to your sofa.
And best of all, it’s reversible. Both sides look equally beautiful, making it a versatile and practical piece, always ready to wrap your space in warmth and style.

Stitches & Techniques Used

CROCHETING INTO THE BACK BUMP OF A CHAIN
Usually you crochet in the right side of the chain. When you turn your chain, you’ll see a small ‘bump’ on the wrong side of each stitch. Insert your hook under this back bump.
CHANGING TO A NEW COLOR
You will change to another colour by joining in the new colour during the final step of the last stitch in the old colour as follows: work the last stitch in the old colour until the last two loops of the stitch are on the hook, then using the new colour, YO and pull through the 2 remaining old colored loops on your hook. The next stitch you make will be the first stitch in the new colour.
JOIN YARN WITH A STANDING SC
Make a slip knot onto hook then insert hook into indicated stitch, YO and pull through stitch (2 loops on hook), YO and pull through both loops on hook at once.
