Surf's up, beach lovers and fiber friends! Summer is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to blend your love for crochet with the laid-back vibes of a beach vacation. 'A Day at the Beach' is a large throw blanket that captures the essence of sunny days and sandy toes, all while keeping you as cozy as the ocean breeze.

We'll start with a seagull standing proudly on a surfboard that's wedged upright in the golden sand. In the background, an impressive sandcastle stands tall, while gentle beach waves roll in. This pattern is not just a project; it's a celebration of all things summer, beach vibes, and nautical charm.

Why should this pattern be your next crochet adventure? Well, let me sea! Firstly, the "A Day at the Beach" blanket is perfect for bringing a touch of the seaside into your home, no matter how far from the ocean you might be. The delightful scene of a seagull on a surfboard, complemented by a sandcastle and ocean waves, evokes memories of carefree beach days and the soothing sound of waves crashing on the shore.

This pattern is 60x90 squares and uses Cream, Tan, Light Brown, Dark Brown, Light Teal, Medium Teal, Soft White, Yellow, Blue, Orange, and an H/8 - 5.00mm hook.

Skill Level: C2C is ideal for advanced beginners. As this project contains frequent color changes, I suggest a slow-and-steady approach. This pattern assumes you already know how to crochet the C2C stitch and can read a C2C pattern, however, a link to a full C2C video tutorial is included in the notes section of the PDF pattern download.

This Ribblr pattern comes with the standard Ribblr format (written color-coded c2c rows), a single page chart, a multipage chart over four pages (all charts printable), and two (2) pdf digital download files.

The two (2) pdf files include:
Pattern File
- 31 pages
- materials list for medium worsted weight yarn
- notes section with helpful resources
- single page chart
- oversized chart over four pages
- written c2c rows
- color block rows

Appendix File
- materials list for dk weight and chunky weight yarn
- link to c2c calculator/instructions to help you calculate the yardage for any yarn weight and how to calculate the finished size

Helpful hint - I highly recommend using large clothes pins or beach towel clips as bobbins for easier color changes in c2c projects. The bobbins clip directly to your project when not in use and make it easier to keep your yarn tangle free!
