Ingredients
- Caron® All Day Cotton™ yarn in Grass Green, Eyes Blue, Bermuda Teal, Watermelon, White Shirt
- Susan Bates® Silvalume® crochet hook, size H/8 [5 mm]
- Susan Bates® yarn needle
- Susan Bates® stitch markers, optional
Instructions
- With Grass Green yarn, chain 320.
- Place a stitch marker at every 50th chain to make the long foundation chain easier to check.
- For the first row, work 1 double crochet in the fourth chain from the hook, then continue across the foundation chain according to the designated stitch-and-chain pattern.
- For the second row, chain 3. Work 1 double crochet in each of the next 3 double crochet stitches, then continue across the row according to the pattern.
- For the third row, work the same stitch sequence as the second row, but work into the back loops only. Insert your hook under the back loop of each stitch rather than under both loops.
- For the fourth row, work the same stitch sequence as the second row through both loops of each stitch.
- Continue repeating the second and third rows until the blanket measures approximately 56 inches.
- Fasten off and secure the final loop. Weave in the loose end with the yarn needle.
- To add the side edging, join Bermuda Teal with a slip stitch at the top-left corner of the blanket.
- Work single crochet stitches evenly down the left side. Space the stitches consistently so the edge stays flat and does not ripple.
- For the fringe, cut lengths of White Shirt yarn measuring 20 inches each.
- Knot the yarn lengths into fringe along the top and bottom edges of the blanket. Keep the knots evenly spaced and trim the ends if needed.
Notes
The instructions do not specify color changes for the blanket body, so work the main blanket in Grass Green unless your original pattern source provides additional color-placement details.
