Learn to crochet five beautiful blankets with this new crochet pattern book by Sarah of Rich Textures Crochet entitled “Barn Quilt Blankets!”
Have you heard? Rich Textures Crochet has a new book!
For the past year I have been working on a special collection of crochet blanket patterns.
One of the things I love about the community where I live and the surrounding area, are the “barn quilts” that decorate the sides of barns across the countryside.
Barn Quilts are geometric designs that depict an image that represents the family that lives there. Often they bear a historical significance. The tradition of barn quilts is thought to have begun hundreds of years ago.
In this collection of barn quilt blankets, I was inspired to bring this history and tradition into the home in the form of these comforting blankets.
Barn Quilt Blankets: Five Beautiful Crochet Blanket Patterns is 38 pages and contains five blanket designs including the Wintertime Barn Quilt, Tulip Barn Quilt, Sunflower Barn Quilt, Cadinal Barn Quilt and Poinsettia Barn Quilt. One blanket for each season!
Each of the blankets is fairly easy to work and constructed in a similar way. The book contains the written instructions for the blanket squares, colour charts for the square layouts, instructions on how to join your squares together and then the written instructions for the unique edging of each blanket. Along the way you will be inspired by beautiful photos of each blanket design.
For the photos in the book, I have worked each of the blankets in a soft, 100% acrylic yarn called Heartland by Lion Brand Yarn. You will find a complete list of the materials for each blanket in the book. Along with the yarn I have used a 5mm (H/8) crochet hook like this Birchwood Crochet Hook by Rowan. The blankets are quite versitile, however, so don’t be afraid to switch up the yarn brand, type and colours to suit your own personal style.
I know you are going to fall in love with these beautiful blankets!
At the end of the book you will find a handy place to make notes about your work and progress and some helpful charts about crochet stitch abbreviations, yarn weight conversion and US to UK terms conversion charts.
I am happy to announce that the book, Barn Quilt Blankets is now available for sale in paperback and ebook formats on Amazon.

Thank you so much!
Sorry those were supposed to be exclamation marks not question marks. Oops.
Not a problem! I understood 🙂
Are the patterns join as you go or do they need to be sewn together at the end?
They are crocheted or sewn together at the end 🙂
