Crochet Kit – Soutache Braided Blanket

May 18, 2024 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

First and foremost, let’s talk about the yarn. The Heartland® yarn in the Bryce Canyon colorway is absolutely stunning. The heathered warm brown and gold hues create a beautifully rustic yet sophisticated look that is perfect for creating a timeless heirloom piece. The yarn is also incredibly soft and easy to work with, making the crocheting process a joy from start to finish.

Now, onto the pattern itself. Brianna Iaropoli, the talented designer behind Life and Yarn, has truly outdone herself with this design. The combination of puff stitches and braided cables creates a stunning texture that adds depth and visual interest to the blanket. While the pattern is rated as intermediate-plus, I found the instructions to be clear and easy to follow, even for someone with intermediate crochet skills like myself.

What I appreciate most about this kit is the opportunity it provides to create something truly special. The finished blanket is not only beautiful but also practical, making it the perfect addition to any home. Whether you’re snuggling up on the couch with a good book or gifting it to a loved one, this blanket is sure to be cherished for years to come.
