I've given some estimates of yardage for other sizes below. I made the Easy Log Cabin Blanket in a lap blanket/throw size, but you can stop at a baby size, or keep going as big as you like. I knew I needed to keep the stitches simple to show off the yarn itself. With the Easy Log Cabin Afghan, you can show off the yarn, and the pattern, without having to change skeins until you run out of yarn!
Textures has a lot going on - color changes, a tight twist with a solid thread running throughout. I've knitted log cabin style blankets before, but I hadn't crocheted one - the new Lion Brand Textures yarn changed that! It's the perfect pairing. By using a self-striping yarn, it's all fun and minimal fuss - introducing the Easy Log Cabin Afghan!ĭisclaimer: This post includes affiliate links. Charities are always on the look out for crafty volunteers who can lend a hand with projects and the more stitchers they have on board, the more families they can support.Log cabin blankets and quilts are both traditional and modern - it's an old idea, that never goes out of style! Crocheted versions are wonderful, but usually require lots of color changes - and lots of ends to weave in.

They're super soft and come in lovely pastel colours, making them perfect for a special gift for a little one.
