Crochet Along
On the first three days, we worked on the 6-Day Great Granddaddy Blanket. I started a new blanket in Caron Anniversary Cakes by Yarnspirations, and demonstrated the setup rounds and repeat rounds of the blanket.
Make the blanket larger by repeating the repeat rounds 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 2 in that order until your blanket reaches the size you desire.
You won’t need any more videos for this, all the rounds are the same, just bigger. Follow the stitch counts in the pattern marking off the counts for each repeat as you do them.
You also won’t need a video for the border, it’s so easy! You can work it in the back loop if you want a little bit of variation.
Here is the video playlist for the 6-Day Great Granddaddy.
On days 4-6 we worked on the 6-Day Great Granddaddyo Blanket.
This pattern closely resembles the 6-Day Great Granddaddy but is designed specifically for the exquisite Noro Tsubame yarn. Crocheting with this yarn is truly a dream; the vibrant colors create a unique journey for a magical blanket-making experience. After crocheting two blankets with Noro Tsubame, I am utterly spoiled. It has now become my favorite yarn for blankets.
In addition to being incredibly beautiful and a joy to work with, the finished product is the perfect weight. It’s warm but not heavy; it’s drapey and light and perfect for when you just need that extra layer. My Tsubame blankets are the perfect beach house blankets.
A Noro Tsubame blanket is an investment, but it’s worth every penny. Many crocheters give away most, if not all, of what they make. Make this heirloom-quality project as the ultimate in crochet self-care, made just for you. You’ll love both creating and using this beautiful blanket.
For an added touch of luxury and self-care, consider incorporating some Scented Stitches stitch balm. This is truly a treat-yourself project.

In the process of designing and upgrading this pattern, I made several size variations, along with the help of my Design Workshop advisory council in my membership community, the Betty McKnitiverse. I decided to only include the most well-liked version in the free pattern online, but the full version with all four size variations is available exclusively in the membership.
