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 134sts – 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.
