Looking for a pretty ombre crochet blanket pattern? A throw that is lightweight, pretty ombre, and has few yarn changes?
This free coral ombre crochet blanket pattern will be a great crochet project to try. It only has 1 stitch, the star stitch. I made a crochet dishcloth pattern, to try out the crochet stitch.
You can try it here: star stitch crochet dishcloth.
This pretty crochet stitch is easy to do after you have the hang of it. The crochet pattern is a 1 row repeat with changes in the colors.
