Many needlewomen have small balls of yarn after knitting. Over time, they accumulate in large stocks. And these reserves can be used for practical purposes. You just need to show a little creative imagination and crochet the blanket yourself.

Instructions
Step 1
Before starting work, decide on the desired size of the finished blanket. It can be a standard lorry (1.5 meters by 2 meters). And you can take other arbitrary sizes at your request, depending on the planned purpose of the blanket. For example, use it to cover in a chair or wrap your legs. Accordingly, the size of the blanket will be smaller.
Step 2
Having decided on the size of the blanket, move on to choosing a crochet method. Large-sized items are best knitted in the patchwork style, i.e. first tie the individual elements of the product, and then sew them (tie) together. This knitting method will be comfortable, fashionable and practical. It will also allow you to adjust the finished size of the blanket. And during the operation of an already finished blanket, if it suddenly becomes damaged (cut, rupture, stain), then it will always be possible to replace the desired element.
Step 3
The elements of the blanket can be knitted in the same color scheme, or you can use yarn of different colors. It is desirable that the properties of the used yarn are as close to each other as possible. This will maintain the original dimensions and overall appearance of the finished blanket.
It is better to use a larger crochet hook so that the knitting density is not high. So the product will turn out to be quite soft, and at the same time it will keep its shape.
Step 4
You can also use different knitting patterns for elements, or knit all the elements in one pattern. The sizes of the elements can also be the same or different (large and small squares). Then, out of 4 small squares, you can form one, equal in size to the large square, and when connecting all the elements of the blanket into one product, alternate large and squares connected from 4.
Step 5
When you have knitted a sufficient number of elements, proceed to assembling the blanket. Elements can be sewn together. Or you can crochet each element in one row, and attach the next element according to the pattern on each side in the process of tying. When you have connected all the elements together, the finished canvas needs to be tied in circles. To increase the size of the finished blanket, you can tie it in several rows. In order for the edges of the blanket to turn out beautiful, you can add a pattern when tying.
