Beachcomber Blanket Crochet Pattern
The Beachcomber Blanket crochet pattern is the first pattern added to the Beach Getaway Collection. The yarn, combined with a bit of texture, creates an amazing beachy look. Perfect for curling up on the beach when their is a cool summer breeze or throwing over the back of the couch in your lakeside cottage.
It comes in 3 sizes, but it is very easily adjusted to any size you’d like. It also has an easy 2 row repeat which makes it a great on-the-go project.
Whether you have your own beach house, or just love to make projects for your favorite vacation spot, you’re going to love the Beach Getaway Collection.
Beach Getaway = a place where one escapes for relaxation, vacation, etc., or a period of time for such recreation: a little seaside getaway.
And after the last couple of years I am so ready to escape and relax. So, I had the idea to create a collection of patterns all named with a beach theme.
If you’d like to see all the patterns from the Beach Getaway Collection you can find them at the bottom of this post (they will be added as they are released).

Thank you so much!
thought this was a free pattern but it is making me pay?
Hi Josie, the free copy is right on the blog. If you’d like to download a copy it’s available for purchase.
I don’t see the instructions either. I can see as far as the ‘Notes’.
This is not a free pattern like some of my others. This one you can purchase the pdf download at the bottom of the post.
Best tutorials to get me thru this! I’m a knitter… this is my first crochet project. Ty
Is there a specific stitch you need help with? If you just need a full tutorial I may be able to make one this week for you.
