Free Crochet Pattern: Farmhouse Lace Throw Blanket
When I look at this blanket, I think of spending time on the front porch. I imagine watching the sun rise while enjoying an early-morning cup of coffee, or spending a slow, simple evening watching the sun set. The design of this crochet throw blanket captures those emotions and reminds me of simpler times and slower days, which is what soothes my soul.

Farmhouse Lace Throw Blanket
The balance of “lace” sections and mostly-solid sections creates a modern-rustic look which gives the Farmhouse Lace Throw Blanket its name. These sections are created using combinations of simple, standard crochet stitches, so you don’t have to be a crochet expert to make one of these beautiful crochet throw blankets for yourself.
