The Wrap and Hooded Throw is an ideal blend of comfort and style. The combination of a wrap and a hood makes it a blanket and a cozy cocoon, keeping you warm from head to toe. This concept is brought to life using our easy-to-follow crochet pattern. Ideal for beginners, the pattern starts at the corner with simple increases and decreases that create an appealing bias design. It’s fun to work with because of the Bernat Blanket Stripes self-striping yarn, so no worrying about color changes! The hood adds a unique twist, transforming the throw into creative comfort. This crochet blanket pattern is a rewarding project for anyone new to crocheting or looking to create a charming and functional throw for those cozy indoor days.
