wonky blocks blanket (knit or crochet)
This fun blanket by Carissa Browning has both knit and crochet versions, and the patterns include information for creating them in 6 finished sizes, and in 6 different weights of yarn! Patterns not included here but are available for purchase on Ravelry.
For this Project Inspiration Page, we've focused on the knit and crochet versions in Worsted weight yarn, featuring Malabrigo Rios (100% superwash wool) or Circulo InLove Slim (100% cotton).
This blanket is constructed in columns, with each new column joined as you go on the left edge of the previous column for a seamless project, and includes a video tutorial for this technique.
See the above pattern links to Ravelry for full sizing, gauge, needle, and yardage information for each pattern.

From designer Carissa Browning, "Whether you choose a small, curated palette or go wild and scrappy, your blanket is sure to dazzle! If you’re struggling with choice paralysis, here are few strategies I would recommend:
• Focus on one side of the color wheel. Maybe grab all the blues and greens from your stash, or all the pinks and purples. Using a range of hues that have a common primary color can create a cohesive look, even in a scrappy project.
• Stock up on neutrals for something a bit more subdued. If you get bored, you can always throw in a pop of neon for funsies!
• Take inspiration from your favorite work of art. Give it a good stare, allowing your eyes to blur, and jot down what colors jump out at you first.
• Use the diagram at the end of the pattern as a coloring page and have fun!"
The finished size options are Baby (Crib, Throw, Twin, Full/Queen, King).
The total yardage of Worsted weight yarn needed for each size in the Knit version is: 1078 (2574, 3146, 5434, 7942, 9614)
The total yardage of Worsted weight yarn needed for each size in the Crochet version is: 1225 (2925, 3575, 6175, 9025, 10,925)
