Snare Drum Crochet Blanket Pattern

If you love music, crochet, and unique blanket designs, you are going to love the newest addition to the Music to My Soul Blanket Collection! This modern Snare Drum Crochet Blanket combines bold graphic design with the texture and creativity of crochet to create a blanket that is both eye-catching and meaningful.

Like the other designs in the Music to My Soul collection, this blanket features a musical instrument worked into a distinctive split silhouette design. The snare drum creates a striking focal point while the surrounding color changes give the blanket its modern, almost artistic feel.

A Modern Snare Drum Crochet Blanket

The snare drum is one of those instruments that instantly brings energy to music. Whether you think of marching bands, drum lines, concert bands, orchestras, or your favorite drummer, the snare drum has a recognizable sound and an unmistakable place in the world of music.

I wanted to capture that same energy in crochet.

The clean silhouette makes the snare drum instantly recognizable, while the contrasting colors make the design really stand out.

Crochet With Color Changes

One of my favorite things about this blanket is the use of color changes to create the snare drum image.

If you’ve followed my designs for a while, you know how much I enjoy using color changes to create large graphic images within crochet. Instead of adding an applique or stitching an image onto a finished blanket, the image is crocheted directly into the fabric.

This makes the snare drum part of the blanket itself. The pattern includes step by step instructions through many photo tutorials. However, if you prefer learning visually and want a step by step guide to master this technique I have a “Take the Work out of Color Work” course you can sign up to take!

Changing Colors Course Info

The color changes also give you plenty of opportunity to customize the design. Choose colors that coordinate with a music room, school colors, a marching band, or simply your favorite color combination.

And because this is a music-themed blanket, you don’t have to stop with the colors shown in my sample!

Part of the Music to My Soul Collection

The Snare Drum Blanket joins my growing Music to My Soul Blanket Collection, a series of crochet blankets inspired by musical instruments.

Each blanket features a different instrument while maintaining the recognizable modern style of the collection. The designs are intended to work beautifully individually, but they can also be combined to create a fun collection for musicians, music teachers, band families, and music lovers.

So far, the collection has featured instruments such as the piano, guitar, violin, and more—and now the snare drum gets its turn in the spotlight!

If one of these other instruments caught your eye, I have each pattern linked at the end of this blog post.

Whether you’re making a blanket for a drummer, band student, music teacher, musician, or someone who simply loves music, this design makes a thoughtful handmade gift.
