This is a pattern overview, not a replacement for the complete crochet pattern. The Pumpkin Spice Throw is a fall-colored blanket made with double crochet clusters and a striped color arrangement. This guide summarizes the stitch, yarn, materials, and construction details available in the source. Visit Daisy Cottage Designs for the complete pattern and its stripe sequence.
This Fall Blanket Uses An Easy Stitch Pattern Overview
The blanket is worked in a double crochet cluster stitch, which the source also describes as a dc2tog made in one stitch. The original creator presents it as a beginner-friendly stitch and offers written guidance and a video demonstration. The repeated clusters form the fabric, while the color changes create the striped fall look.
This overview does not reproduce the creator’s stitch tutorial. If you are learning the stitch, refer to the instructions and demonstration linked with the original pattern. The source describes the stitch as suitable for a relaxed project, but the complete directions are needed to make the blanket.
Fall Blanket Yarn Choices
The original blanket uses Baby Bee Sweet Delight yarn from Hobby Lobby in Flannel Marled, Green Light, and Gingerbread. The source says the fall foliage-inspired shades caught the creator’s eye, but also encourages crocheters to choose colors they prefer. Changing the palette can give the stripes a different look without changing the basic project description.
The yarn used for the original is lightweight. The source says worsted weight can also be used, with a larger hook, and that the blanket will turn out somewhat larger. This is a general expectation, not a recalculated finished measurement for the alternate yarn. If substituting, keep in mind that the source’s yardage estimate is for lightweight yarn.
Pumpkin Spice Stripes Crochet Blanket Pattern Overview
For the complete pattern, including its stripe arrangement, visit Daisy Cottage Designs’ original pattern and instructions. The source advises making a loose foundation chain because the wide clusters can cause a tight starting edge to ruffle. It also says not to work into the turning chain at row ends. A video demonstrating the cluster stitch is available here.
The source-listed supplies and project notes are:
- An I-9 crochet hook, 5.50 mm. The creator suggests a J-10 hook for crocheters who know they chain tightly. The source does not give a metric size for the J-10 hook.
- Three skeins of Baby Bee Sweet Delight in Flannel Marled, plus one skein each in Green Light and Gingerbread.
- For a different yarn, approximately 1,500 yards of lightweight yarn. The source says gauge is not important for this project.
- The finished blanket is approximately 35 by 37 inches as written. The source also refers to a chart with three additional sizes, but the chart figures are not included in the source text provided here.
These details are a planning summary, not a complete materials substitution guide. In particular, the source’s approximate size applies to the pattern as written, and the alternate yarn suggestion is expected to make the blanket somewhat bigger.
Directions
The supplied pattern text gives a starting chain of 92 in Flannel Marled. The first row is described as producing 90 clusters, beginning in the third chain from the hook. For the next row, the clusters begin in the first stitch, and the turning chain is left unused. The source repeats this row structure through row 72, following a separate stripe arrangement.
The stripe sequence itself is not present in the supplied text, so this overview cannot give the color-by-color row plan. The original pattern link above is the place to consult for the complete directions. For help with color changes and weaving in ends, the source also links to guidance on changing colors in crochet.
Adjusting the Size of this Fall Crochet Blanket
The creator says the blanket can be adjusted by changing the starting chain, and that the cluster stitch can be used with any chain length. A chart is described as providing stitch counts and yarn yardage for several sizes, including three options beyond the stated 35 by 37 inch version. Its values are not shown in the source text available for this overview, so check the original pattern before relying on a particular count or yardage for another size.
