Bring a touch of forest magic into your crochet with this woodland-themed blanket pattern that combines whimsy and modern style. The design features a striking split silhouette layout, softened by the charm of a mushroom patch that create a cozy, woodland feel. Perfect for nature lovers, woodland nurseries, or anyone who enjoys a hint of whimsy in their home décor, this blanket is a timeless piece that feels both modern and enchanting.
To highlight the natural beauty of the design, I used Premier Spun yarn, a variegated yarn that captures the rich colors of the forest — earthy fall folage, deep browns, and warm golden tones. The shifting hues give the blanket incredible pops of bold color, making the mushrooms truly pop against the cream contrasting color.
Crochet Color Changes
Like many of my designs, this pattern uses my signature color-changing technique to create sharp, clean lines while keeping the process fun and approachable. Whether you’re making this blanket for yourself or as a thoughtful handmade gift, it’s sure to be a favorite that brings woodland charm into any space.

Woodland Style Blanket Collection
This blanket was originally designed as part of a collection of six woodland-themed throw blankets, each featuring a modern split silhouette style. Every design in the series highlights a unique element of the forest, bringing together nature-inspired details in a bold, contemporary way. The mushroom blanket quickly became a favorite for its whimsical charm and cozy woodland feel. You can find links for all the individual designs at the end of this blog post.
