Stuffed Taco Blanket and Pillow

Garnished with a dollap of sour cream in the middle, and tomato, lettuce and cheese on the edges, the Stuffed Taco Blanket folds into an appetizing pillow!

So easy to crochet, the blanket makes a perfect beginner project. But if you need help with any of the stitches or the edging, I’ve created a series of video tutorials to give you personal, step-by-step instructions. Start by watching  How to Crochet the Stuffed Taco Blanket Part 1- the Blanket! Here you will learn to crochet the sour cream and add the meat along with the taco shell. Plus you will learn to install the pocket! This pocket keeps the folds in line and the blanket ready for storage or display. Additional videos provide instructions for crocheting each of the edgings. Here is a link to all the videos in this playlist!

There are two variations to choose from depending on how big you want the folded pillow. Both versions are included in the pattern.  The 3-Curve version folds into a 15 inch pillow and the 2 Curve version folds into a 21 inch pillow but the blanket is the same size! The blanket measures approximately 43 x 62 inches.

Crocheted with readily available, easy-care acrylic yarn, it is meant to be used.  It makes the perfect gift for teachers, students, men, women, children and those who have everything because everybody loves a good taco! And everybody will love their own Stuffed Taco Blanket! It’s simply delicious!
