Braid Plaid
The Braid Plaid is a playful yet elegant crochet blanket designed to keep you cozy while adding a touch of style to your home.
The Braided Look
The signature braids might look intricate, but they’re delightfully simple to make. You’ll create loops and then “braid” them by pulling them through one another. All of the stitches are basic—chains, single crochet-, and double crochet stitches—making this pattern approachable even if it looks advanced.
The finished blanket has a wonderful weight to it, making it perfect as a lapghan. If you’d like to add a pop of colour, try alternating shades: work rows 2 and 3 in one colour, then rows 4 and 5 in another.

About the Yarn
I chose the rich Cognac shade of Hobbii Friends Wool to give the blanket a warm, autumnal vibe. But with 58 colours to choose from, you can create a version that perfectly matches your style.
Friends Wool is spun from four threads, giving it strength and elasticity while remaining breathable and cozy—the perfect balance for a long-lasting crochet piece.
