Written In:
This pattern is written using American standard crochet terminology.
Notes:
- This crochet pattern is worked in rows starting from the bottom working towards the top of the blanket, turn your blanket over at the end of each row.
- Ch1 at the start of each row does not count as a stitch throughout the pattern.
- Each row will end with 147sts – Which includes all dc and ch stitches – if you are getting a different stitch count this means you have probably missed a ch1 stitch on your current row or your previous row.
- When the pattern states to work ‘1dc in the next 12sts’ for example – those stitches you are working into could either be dc stitches or chain 1 stitches.
- When the pattern states to ‘ ch1, sk1’ – all you are doing is chaining 1 and skipping the next stitch, this could either be a dc stitch or a chain 1 stitch.
- If you have brackets in the row that you are working on ‘(Ch1, sk1, 1dc in next st)’ for example – Crochet what is in the brackets first and then repeat what is in the brackets however many times it is stated to do so after the bracket closes.
- Repeat what is in between the stars from * to * until the end of the round.
- If you have a ** in your row you need to follow the pattern from * to * across the entire row and then when you get near the end of the row you will finish your last repeat at ** because you can no longer complete the entire repeat then follow what it says to do to complete the row.
- Read each row carefully before starting the row.

Border:
R1. Join white yarn in top right hand corner, Work 1sc evenly around the entire blanket, working (1sc, ch2, 1sc) into each corner of the blanket, join with a slip stitch to beg sc
R2. Ch1, 1sc in each sc around the entire blanket, working (1sc, ch2, 1sc) into each ch2 corner space, join with a slip stitch to beg sc
Please Note: On this next row I used a DK yarn, I just made sure not to crochet too tightly so the blanket didn’t pucker as it was a thinner yarn.
R3. Join teal yarn in any stitch, work 1sc evenly around the entire blanket, working (1sc, ch1, 1sc) into each corner of the blanket, join with a slip stitch to beg sc
Fasten off and weave in all ends.
I hope you love your new blanket!
Have fun crocheting!
