BLOOM LEG WARMERS

Materials:

Gauge: Gauge is not crucial for this pattern as it can be easily adjusted to your desired size.

Pattern:

Note: This pattern uses US crochet terminology.

Step 1: Starting Square

1. Chain 6.
2. In the fourth chain from the hook, work 1 double crochet (DC). This counts as your first block.
3. Work 1 DC in each of the next two chains. You now have a starting square with three blocks.
4. Chain 6 and turn your work.

Step 2: Increasing Rows

1. Slip stitch into the third chain of the starting chain-6 from the previous row.
2. Chain 3 (counts as first DC), work 3 DC in the chain-3 space of the previous row.
3. Chain 3, turn your work.
4. Slip stitch into the third chain of the chain-6 space from the previous row.
5. Chain 3, work 3 DC in the same chain-3 space.
6. Work 3 DC in each chain-3 space across.
7. Chain 3, turn your work.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 until your blanket reaches the desired width. Each row will have one additional block compared to the previous row.

Step 3: Decreasing Rows

1. Slip stitch into the third chain of the chain-6 space from the previous row.
2. Chain 3, work 3 DC in the same chain-3 space.
3. Work 3 DC in each chain-3 space across.
4. Chain 3, turn your work.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until you reach the desired length for your blanket. Each row will have one fewer block compared to the previous row.

Step 4: Edging

1. To create a neat edge, work 1 slip stitch in each stitch and chain across the final row.
2. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.

Feel free to get creative with your color choices and design. You can use a graph or pixelated image to create a specific pattern within the C2C technique. Remember to adjust your yarn and hook size if you want a smaller or larger blanket. Enjoy crocheting your C2C blanket!
