Warm Heart Blanket or Wrapped In Love Blanket: which one to make?

chatting about crochet patterns

During the Crochet Lounge online meet-ups we regularly chat about which crochet patterns we’re thinking about making next. It’s always interesting to hear the different points of view about the crochet stitches, yarn choices and what the pattern is like to make.

Recently a member asked:

“I’d like to know the difference between the Warm Heart Blanket and the Wrapped In Love Blanket. They look similar.”

It’s an excellent question! I thought it was worthwhile discussing here as well, so you can decide which blanket to make next too.

comparing the two blankets

Let’s dive into the differences in the blankets in some more detail . . .

skill level

• Warm Heart Blanket is ideal for beginners that have never crocheted before, and anyone else looking for an easy crochet project. The 2 different rows repeat over and over again to build confidence and quickly finish the blanket.
• Wrapped In Love Blanket introduces textured stitches, making it a great next step in your crochet journey.

size options

• Warm Heart Blanket is one generous size, great for snuggling on the lounge.
• Wrapped In Love Blanket offers eight sizes, from a small pram blanket to a large king-size bed throw. It’s a favourite pattern for making as gifts and it tends to be made many times by everyone with the pattern.

texture and stitches

• Warm Heart Blanket introduces the basic crochet stitches, and is smooth and modern with its minimal texture.
• Wrapped In Love Blanket uses six different stitches for extra depth and interest.
