About

The Cherry Pie Throw is a whimsical gingham-and-cherry blanket, made of patchwork squares that you can work up 30 minutes at a time!

This pattern is also beginner-friendly, with step-by-step photos for every single part of the pattern.

I absolutely love this design. The plaid squares can be a little tricky, but I think it’s worth it — they’re the perfect calming complement to the bright red cherry tones!

Sizing

The standard blanket size is 41" (104 cm) wide and 49" (124 cm) long; this is the size you see in photos. There are instructions for customized sizing included.

Materials

Hook: 6.5mm or size needed to obtain gauge

Notions:

  • Tapestry needle

  • Scissors

Yarn: Chunky/size 5 weight

I used acrylics like Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky to make this. I recommend using a similar acrylic or wool for your own project; you can find good substitutes on yarnsub.com.

Always make a swatch before beginning to make sure you meet gauge (also important so your pattern isn’t too big or too small) and are happy with the fabric created!

Pattern Notes

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate

Sizing: This design is written for one size, as detailed in the “Sizing” section above. There are instructions included if you want to adjust to a different size.

Construction: This design is worked in a patchwork style. First, you’ll make each square individually, then you’ll sew them together, then you’ll finish off the blanket with an adorable scalloped edge.
