3. Materials Needed

– Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in Slate Gray (400 yards), Dusty Blue (400 yards), and Cream (400 yards)

– Hook: 5.0mm crochet hook

– Needle: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

– Marker: Stitch marker for marking rows

– Optional extras: None

4. Designer Notes / Tips

– Stitch technique: The beauty of this blanket lies in its simplicity. The one-row repeat consists of a combination of double crochet and chain stitches, creating an elegant texture that is easy to master. Be sure to keep your tension consistent for a uniform look throughout.

– Gauge tips: While gauge isn’t crucial for a blanket, aiming for a loose tension will provide a lovely drape. A swatch of 4 inches by 4 inches in double crochet should yield about 12 stitches and 8 rows, but don’t stress if it varies slightly.

– Color changes: Feel free to alter the color sequence to suit your style! Alternating colors every few rows can create a unique pattern, or stick with the gradient approach for a more cohesive look.

– Safety considerations: As this blanket is designed for adults, it doesn’t include any small parts like buttons or safety eyes, making it a safe choice for all users.

5. Pattern Instructions

One Row Repeat Blanket:

Foundation Chain: Ch 150 (or any multiple of 3, plus 1 for turning).

Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook, *ch 1, skip 1 ch, dc in next ch* repeat until the end of the row, turn.

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), *dc in next ch-1 space, ch 1* repeat until the end of the row, dc in top of turning ch, turn.

Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length, switching colors as desired.

Finishing: After reaching the desired length, fasten off and weave in all ends with a tapestry needle. Block if desired to ensure edges are clean.

Note on color changes: When changing colors, you can do so at the end of any row. Simply complete the last stitch of the row with the new color instead of the old one.
