If you’re looking for the perfect handmade crochet gift for the golf lover in your life, this new crochet blanket design is sure to be a hole-in-one! Featuring a classic golf theme worked into the crochet stitches using eye-catching color changes, this blanket is both sporty and stylish. Whether you’re crocheting it in country club greens or customizing it in your recipient’s favorite colors, this project is guaranteed to impress.
The color-changing technique used in this pattern is the same one I teach in my Changing Colors Online Course, making it a great opportunity to put your skills to work—or to try something new with confidence if you’re just getting started. From tees to putting greens, each stitch brings the world of golf to life in cozy, creative form.
Have You Worked Color Changes in your crochet?
If you’ve been following me, you know my love of the knotted half double crochet. This stitch is what has allowed me to creates some of the most beautiful designs using color changes. It creates gorgeous color transitions, clean lines and angles among a full-bodied stitch.
The knotted half double crochet is a unique stitch that is new to many crocheters. I started designing with it in 2020 when I designed my Music to the Souls Blankets (and now I have over 30 patterns using it and many more designs on their way).
If you are new to crocheting color changes it can be intimidating. Starting a large project can be extra intimidating because you want it to start and end with consistent quality of tension/gauge and stitches. It was important to me to make everyone feel confident when making one of my designs using the knotted half double crochet and working my graph patterns, so I created a full course that walks you through all the nitty gritty you may want to know.
All my designs using this technique have full instructions in the pattern itself, but if you want to practice or need a little more guidance, please be sure to check out my Changing Colors Course.

Bringing the Golf Blanket to Life – Thanks to Krista!
The golf blanket design had been sitting in my collection for a while—along with several other sports-themed blankets—just waiting for the right time to be crocheted. With so many ideas and not enough hours in the day, I decided to reach out to my amazing community of followers for help in making samples. I was overwhelmed by the response and so grateful for the support!
All of the images you see in this blog post are courtesy of Krista, who generously offered to crochet the golf blanket. Her thoughtful color choices and incredible attention to detail truly made the design shine. I’m so thankful for her time, talent, and the beautiful way she brought this pattern to life! Thank you Krista!
