Ingredients
- Bernat® Softee® Baby Chunky™ yarn: 1 ball each in Candy Apple Red, Creamsicle, Buttercup, Sprout Green, Dragon Green, Blue Lagoon, Indigo, and Grape
- U.S. M/13 (9 mm) flexible cable Tunisian crochet hook
Instructions
- Set up the stripe sequence. Assign colors A through H in the listed order: Candy Apple Red, Creamsicle, Buttercup, Sprout Green, Dragon Green, Blue Lagoon, Indigo, and Grape. Work one strip in each color. Repeat the stripe sequence until the blanket measures approximately 42 inches, ending on the third strip.
- Begin the first strip in color A. Chain 113. Work the first triangle using the complete pattern’s forward-pass and return-pass instructions.
- Work the first square. Continue from the triangle into the first square, following its specific forward and return passes.
- Complete the rest of the first strip. Work squares two through nine using the same instructions as the first square. Finish the strip with the last triangle, following the directions for the first triangle.
- Start the second strip in color B. Join color B at the corner of the first triangle. Work the first square and the subsequent squares according to the complete pattern directions.
- Start the third strip in color C. Join color C at the instructed location. Repeat the specified forward- and return-pass pattern until the strip is complete.
- Continue the strip sequence. Repeat the second- and third-strip instructions as directed, keeping the colors in sequence and checking the length as the blanket grows. Stop at approximately 42 inches, ending on the third strip.
- Finish the blanket. Fasten off at the end of the final row. Secure and weave in the yarn ends according to the complete pattern’s finishing instructions.
Notes
Keep the yarn labels until the blanket is finished so you can check the care instructions. If substituting yarn, choose a similar weight and check your gauge.
