Sweet Strawberry Peel Ice Cream Blanket (Crochet)

Worked in Lion Brand Ice Cream Big Scoop® in Strawberry, the blanket showcases long, self striping color changes that flow smoothly. The finished blanket is machine washable and dryable, making it a practical choice for everyday use.

The blanket is made with the Lemon Peel Stitch (HDC variation), which is a simple, rhythmic one row repeat that alternates single crochet and half double crochet. Each stitch stacks directly on top of its match, creating a dense, reversible fabric with a soft vertical texture. This stitch is ideal for blankets and baby projects where softness, structure, and durability matter.
