Sizing Chart
Yarnage
Pattern
Start by making a slip knot and chain the amount stated on the chart
for your sized blanket.
Chain a multiple of 6 plus 7.
R1: Put 1 dc into the 4th ch from the hook. 1 dc into each st across. Ch
2 and turn.
R2: 1 dc in each st across. Ch 2 and turn.
R3: *Sk 2 sts, 1 dcbs, 1 dc into the 2nd sk st, 1 dcbs in the 1st sk st, 1 dc in
each of the next 3 sts* Repeat to the last 4 sts. Sk 2 sts, 1 dcbs, 1 dc into
the 2nd sk st, 1 dcbs in the 1st sk st. 1 dc into the top of the chain 2. Ch
2 and turn.
R4: 1 dc in each st across.
R5: *1 dc in each of the next 3 sts, sk 2 sts, 1 dcbs, 1 dc into the 2nd sk
st, 1 dcbs in the 1st sk st* Repeat to the last 4 sts. 1 dc in each of the last
4 sts. Ch 2 and turn.
Repeat rows 2 to 5 until you reach the size you require.
Pattern
Once you've completed your last row ch 1 and turn, sc evenly around
each side of the blanket making sure to put 3 sc into each corner. I
like to put 2 sc into the end of each row to make it even on both sides.
You can then add a border of your choice or leave it as is.
Fasten off and weave in your ends and you have a beautiful textured
blanket ready for your home or to gift to someone you love.
