I love a good, solid textured crochet blanket just like this Boardwalk Blanket crochet pattern!
The Boardwalk Blanket crochet pattern is an easy crochet pattern to work featuring a continuous stitch pattern. The stitch pattern featured in this blanket is a slight variation on the 3D Shell Stitch. The 3D look is created by front post single crochet stitches that cause the shell stitches to push backward. It is really pretty!
The weight of this blanket is wonderful, it’s not too heavy, but it is also not too light making it nice and cozy to curl up on the couch with while reading a good book or crocheting and enjoying a hot beverage. The blanket has already found it way onto one of our favourite reading chairs!
Materials:
This crochet blanket is worked using a worsted weight yarn. I have chosen a self stripping yarn called Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes. There is about 400 yards in each cake of yarn and to work the blanket to the dimensions below you will need about 10 cakes. Along with the yarn you will need a 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.

Can you explain the difference between 3D shell and boardwalk blanket. They each have the FPSC.
I purchased this boardwalk pattern and cannot find the boardwalk caron cinnamonswirl cakes yarn do you knowwhere I can get it
I found them at my local Michaels in Canada, they may be a seasonal item. You may use any worsted weight yarn – even the other cake yarns
