Crochet a Cardinal Stained Glass Blanket for Christmas (Free Graph)
Christmas Cardinal Stained Glass Blanket With Free Crochet Graph
Use this Christmas Cardinal Stained Glass crochet pattern in a project, and deck your halls with a touch of festive whimsy and nature-inspired beauty.
Cardinals are iconic symbols of Christmas and winter, with their vibrant red plumage instantly reminding us of the holiday season’s warmth and coziness.
Because of how elegant and festive Christmas cardinals look, I was inspired to create a design that incorporates their beauty into your holiday decor.
This pattern features a gorgeous stained glass background with various green shades as the main color palette. Similar to Stained Glass Mushroom and Stained Glass Bird, the different shades blending in the background create a visual perfect for accent pieces.
To make the cardinal stand out, I opted for multiple colors of red, but feel free to experiment with different color combinations to match your holiday theme.
You can go for a classic and elegant look with gold and silver accents or add a playful touch with a rainbow of colors for a cheerful and festive vibe.
Whether you create a c2c cardinal blanket draped over your couch or a striking tapestry on your walls, the finished piece adds a touch of holiday magic to any room.
Plus, it makes the ultimate gift for your loved ones obsessed with the holidays and nature!
The full pattern includes both C2C and row-by-row versions in written and color block formats. And because of this, you can complete your project in whatever stitch and technique you prefer.
If you’re interested in the C2C crochet technique, a complete guide to C2C is available here on my blog. It has tips and tutorials to help you to master such a fun technique!
