Serve up your next crochet project with this volleyball-themed blanket that’s sure to be a winner both on and off the court! The design highlights the energy of the game with a bold volleyball net creating the clean, structured lines in the background and a volleyball next to it. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a favorite sport, whether you’re making it for a player, a devoted fan, or even as a memorable gift for a coach or team.
Created with my signature color-changing technique, this pattern makes it easy to achieve sharp, detailed lines that bring the volleyball and net design to life. The result is a striking, professional-looking blanket that’s fun to make and even better to use or gift. Whether for cozying up after practice, decorating a volleyball lover’s room, or gifting at the end of the season, this blanket is sure to score major points.
If you’re looking to master the color changing method before diving in, my Color Changing Made Easy course will walk you through the exact technique used in this design. With step-by-step video lessons, you’ll gain the confidence to take on projects like this one and bring your crochet visions to life.
Bringing the Volleyball Blanket to Life – Thanks to Kate
The volleyball 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 Kate, who generously offered to crochet the volleyball blanket. She even put on her own personal touch by adding a contrasting color on the volleyball!
