Beach Road Blanket (Crochet)

The texture combination in this pattern is what sold me — the different yarn stitches give it so much dimension compared to the plain throws I've made before. It's now draped over my reading chair and everyone who visits asks about it.

I finished this throw in about three weeks of evening crochet sessions, and the texture changes kept it from getting boring. It's already draped over the back of my couch and looks way more expensive than the yarn cost.

I've crocheted a lot of throws and this pattern's mix of yarn textures is what makes it stand out. The stitch changes kept me from getting bored, and the finished blanket looks way fancier than my skill level.
