Berroco Eden Blanket Crochet Pattern

Berroco Eden Crochet Throw Blanket

What is Being Made

The Berroco Eden is a beginner-friendly crochet throw blanket designed by Brenda York. This finished project measures approximately 47 inches wide by 60 inches long, making it an ideal size for draping over furniture or using as a lap blanket. The throw features a sophisticated lace pattern construction that creates an open, airy fabric perfect for layering.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for beginners while creating visually interesting results. The primary stitch structure uses double crochet (dc) stitches combined with chain spaces to form the lace pattern. The pattern incorporates a specialized decrease technique called dc3tog (double crochet 3 together), which decreases by working yarn overs and loops through multiple stitches before completing a single stitch.

The construction method involves color changes at the end of rows, where the final double crochet is worked until two loops remain on the hook, then the new color is drawn through to complete the stitch. This technique eliminates the need to carry yarn along the sides of the work, keeping the edges clean and finished-looking. Yarn is fastened off at the end of each color stripe, with ends woven in during the finishing process.

Stripe Sequence and Color Pattern

The Eden throw features a complex but manageable stripe sequence that creates visual interest through color blocking. The pattern uses three colors from the Berroco Remix Light yarn line:

• Old Jeans (MC) – the main color used for the majority of the throw
• Buttercup (C1) – accent color appearing in multiple stripe sections
• Birch (C2) – secondary accent color interspersed throughout

The stripe sequence begins with 10 rows of Old Jeans, followed by alternating blocks of Buttercup and Birch in 4-row and 6-row sections, with Old Jeans providing substantial breaks between color blocks. This creates a balanced, rhythmic pattern that prevents the throw from appearing too busy while maintaining visual appeal.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

This project uses Berroco Remix Light yarn, a lightweight option that works beautifully in lace patterns. The yarn requirements are:

• 3 balls (300 grams) of Old Jeans for the main color
• 2 balls (200 grams) each of Buttercup and Birch for accent stripes

The throw is worked with a 4 mm (size G) crochet hook or the size needed to achieve proper gauge. Gauge is critical for this project: 1 pattern repeat should measure 2¼ inches wide, and 8 rows should measure 4 inches in height when worked in the lace pattern. Taking time to check gauge before beginning ensures the finished blanket will be the correct dimensions.

Skill Level and Pattern Notes

Rated as an Easy skill level, the Berroco Eden is accessible to beginners while producing professional-looking results. The pattern uses US crochet terminology throughout. Important notes include the color-change technique that keeps edges neat, the practice of fastening off yarn at each color change rather than carrying it, and the emphasis on checking gauge to ensure accurate finished measurements.
