CROCHET Colorful BLANKET

Certainly! Here’s a simple crochet blanket pattern for you:

Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn (approximately 1500-1800 yards, depending on desired size)
• Size I/9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Gauge:

• Gauge is not critical for this project. Adjust your tension as needed.

Finished Measurements:

• Approximately 40 inches wide x 60 inches long (adjustable)

Pattern:

Note: This pattern uses US crochet terminology.

Foundation Chain: Chain 131.

Row 1: Double crochet (DC) in the 4th chain from the hook. DC in each chain across. (129 DC) Turn.

Row 2: Chain 3 (counts as the first DC here and throughout). DC in each stitch across. (129 DC) Turn.

Repeat Row 2 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches long from the beginning.

Border: For the border, we will work single crochet (SC) stitches around the entire blanket.

Round 1: After completing the last row, do not turn your work. Instead, rotate it clockwise to work along the sides of the rows. Work 2 SC stitches in the end of each row along the sides of the blanket. When you reach a corner, work 3 SC stitches in the corner stitch to turn the corner. Continue working SC stitches across the starting chain edge, placing 2 SC stitches in each chain. Work 3 SC stitches in the corner stitch to turn the corner. Repeat this process for the remaining two sides of the blanket. Join with a slip stitch to the first SC.

Round 2: Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch). SC in each stitch around, working 3 SC stitches in each corner stitch. Join with a slip stitch to the first SC.

Fasten off and weave in all ends.
