Wool blanket in puff stitches “Li”
Crochet your own cozy blanket in puff meshes
Here we show you how to crochet a blanket in beautiful texture with beginner-friendly instruction. We go through all the steps together in the video so you can create this blanket. The structure of the felt is formed by crocheting in puff meshes in our MYO Basic Wool yarn. The size of the file can be customized to the size you wish. The only thing that is needed besides the yarn is crochet hook 6 mm. The colors in the video are beige and nature white.
Yarn Access: approx. 450 g for a blanket measuring approx. 50 x 70 cm

Get started
We will crochet a blanket that you adjust the size of. Start by making a simple loop around the crochet hook. One way you can do this is to wrap the yarn around your index and middle finger and then pull the yarn up so that the loop locks when you tighten. Leave about 15 cm tail.
The chain
Adjust the size of the loop around your crochet hook. Now we will start crocheting the chain, use the crochet hook and pick up the yarn with the end that comes from the yarn roll (you temporarily have two loops on the crochet hook) and pull through so that a loop is formed (the first loop). Do this until you have the desired size on the short side of the blanket. For reference, 62 loops will be approx. 55 cm (depending on how tight/loose you crochet). Remember to crochet an even number of loops. The more loops you crochet, the larger the short side of the blanket will be.
Row 2
Now we will start crocheting puff stitches in the second stitch of the chain (skip the first loop and start in the second). Take yarn over the hook and go down into the second stitch. Pick up yarn and stretch the yarn so the loops are not tight. You now have three loops on the hook. Do the same thing one more time; take the yarn over the crochet hook and go down into the same loop on the chain again, pick up the yarn, and pull through. You now have five loops on the hook. Do the same thing a third time and you will then have seven loops on the hook. Do the same thing a final and fourth time. You now have nine loops on the hook.
After that, you pick up yarn again and pull through all nine loops on the crochet hook.
Skip the next loop on the chain and make a puff stitch after it. Repeat the whole row out, you finish with a puff in the last stitch. After that, make a loose loop and turn the work.
Row 3 and forward
This row is repeated as many times until the blanket is the size you want. You start by making a puff in the first hole of the blanket (between the two puff stitches in row 1) and then you knit puff stitches in each hole until you have finished the row. It is important that you have the same number of puff stitches on each row, so we need to make another puff stitch. It is done in the very last stitch of the row (check the video if you are unsure). After you have made all the puff stitches, you end the row with a loose loop and turn the work.
If you want to change the color, do so after making a loose loop and turning the work. The first puff stitch and the first time you pick up yarn, you do it with the new color. Then you continue as usual.
Attach the yarn ends
The last thing you need to do is attach the yarn ends. You do this on one of the sides of the blanket where you go under a stitch, tie a knot, and then hide the yarn end under nearby stitches. Cut the yarn.
Hope you are happy with your blanket, well done!
