There is something about a lightweight cotton blanket in the summer months that just feels right — whether it is early mornings on the porch, a cool evening with the windows open, or a soft layer at the end of the bed that adds texture without heat. This blanket was designed with exactly that feeling in mind.

The St. Augustine Seaglass Coastal Throw uses Bernat Maker yarn in a four-row knit-look stitch repeat to create a dense breathable fabric that has weight and comfort without warmth. The stitches are baby safe with no holes, the repeat is meditative once established, and the two-tone color block shown here in cream and sage green gives it a fresh coastal aesthetic that works in any season.

What You Need to Make This Summer Crochet Blanket

This blanket is designed using Bernat Maker yarn which will give weight without heat, making it the ultimate cozy summer blanket for naps or warm nights when you like some weight of a blanket without the heat.

Category 5 yarn (cotton or cotton blend)
8 mm crochet hook or size needed to achieve drape
Scissors
tape measure
tapestry needle
if making tassels, something that measures 7-8″ for wrapping your yarn. I used a dvd case.

Best Yarn Options for the St. Augustine Seaglass Throw

Bernat maker yarn is the yarn used for this design so substitutions with result in a slightly different look and may need a hook adjustment up or down one size to achieve drape.

How This Summer Crochet Blanket Pattern Works

The blanket is worked in a repetitive stitch pattern that builds texture quickly while maintaining a clean, structured look. Once you work a setup you will repeat 4 rows to create the knit look stitch.

In the pattern and video tutorial you’ll find:

clear, step-by-step instructions
stitch guidance
a repeat that becomes intuitive after the first few rows
blocking instructions (this blanket “leans” as you work it due to the heavier stitch one one side that is easily resolved when blocking)

This is the kind of project you can comfortably work on while relaxing. While some of my blankets need a tracker, you will find this blanket does not, simply work the length after your width starting chain is set up. The pattern has sizes for baby blanket up to a king size spread.

These are baby safe stitches without holes. See more baby safe blanket patterns. Do please note tassels are not baby safe, I recommend not adding them for infant sized blankets.

How to Style the St. Augustine Seaglass Throw

This blanket works beautifully in a variety of spaces:

Draped over a sofa for everyday comfort
Folded at the foot of a bed for layered texture
Styled on a bench or porch for a relaxed summer look

Its soft weight and breathable feel make it especially nice for:

early mornings
cool summer evenings
air-conditioned interiors

Why Crocheters Love This Summer Blanket Pattern

Dense stitch = comfort without heat
Simple repeat = relaxing to make
Modern texture = elevated finished look
Versatile sizing = make it your own
Creative color combos= I used a two tone color block for a fresh modern look. Make it your own by using one, two or even three blocks of evenly spaced colors.

It’s a practical project that still feels special.
