Friends…I have been waiting way too long to bring this pattern to life and I’ve been anxiously awaiting the day that it’s would be ready to share. I’ve had this idea in my head for over a year and was holding out for the perfect time to release it.
With the changing seasons I find myself leaning into cozy makes like blankets and drawn to patterns like plaid. What better way to celebrate the fall then with The Kensington? It’s beautiful colors and unique construction make this one of the easiest plaid blankets there is.
Kensington features corner to corner construction and the ultra soft and eco friendly Re-Spun yarn. It is one of the coziest recycled yarns there is and the color selection is stunning.
If you’re new to corner to corner crochet you may find some of my previous tutorials helpful such as How To Corner To Corner Crochet and Changing Colors In Corner To Corner Crochet. I promise it’s super easy once you get the hang of it. It’s almost addicting! I tend to get so sucked into my C2C projects that I spend hours watching movies and crocheting away the day. Must be why I continue to make them every year. 😊
For the first time in the history of this blog I’m also including the written pattern here for you. If you like to mark each row off as you go I suggest getting the PDF which has full written instructions, a tutorial on corner to corner and two sizes of the graph.
Grab it now in my shop, Etsy or Ravelry.
I also decided to add a border to the Kensington. I normally leave my C2C blankets as is, but just love how the added border makes the whole blanket pop. I have a quick video tutorial showing you a super easy way to add a simple border to any C2C blanket. Check it out on YouTube below and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel while you’re there.

Bring all ends to the WS and weave in.
Border: (optional)
With RS of blanket facing up, join Color B to any side in the space between two squares and ch 1.
Round 1: sc in same sp as join, *ch 2, sc into next sp, repeat from * around, working a [sc, ch2, sc] into each corner, sl st to 1st st to join.
Round 2: ch 1, *2sc into ch-2 sp, repeat from * around, working a [sc, ch2, sc] into each corner, do not join.
Rounds 3-4: sc into each st around, working a [sc, ch2, sc] into each corner.
*for a thicker border add additional rounds here.
Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends. Steam block if needed.
