\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This afghan is quick and easy, has\u00a0built in borders and edging, and looks the same on both sides. After the first three rows, the same row is just repeated over and over, so a really easy pattern to learn.<\/p>\n

The example is made in light worsted weight cotton.<\/p>\n

Size:<\/strong>
\nThis blanket can be made any size.\u00a0Five widths are given in the directions.<\/p>\n

[grid width=”600″ cols=”100,*,100,*,*”] Size|Width (Inches)|Length (Inches)|Ounces of yarn|Yards of yarn~ Extra Small|34.82|46.43|25.94|1337.62~ Small|39.53|52.71|33.43|1723.57~ Medium|44.24|58.98|41.86|2158.37~ Large|48.94|65.25|51.24|2642.02~ Extra Large|53.65|71.53|61.57|3174.53~[\/grid]<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/strong>
\nWorsted weight yarn, see chart for amount
\nSize H (5mm) crochet hook<\/p>\n

Abbreviations:<\/strong>
\nch = chain
\nch sp = chain space
\ndc = double crochet
\ntr = triple\/treble crochet
\nyo = yarn over<\/p>\n

There is a tutorial video<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

The beginning chain should be a multiple of 10 plus 8.<\/p>\n

For these widths, start with this number of chains:
\n34.75″ = 148
\n39.5″ = 168
\n44.25″ = 188
\n49″ = 208
\n53.75″ = 228<\/p>\n

Row 1: Dc in 5th chain from hook and in each chain across to the end. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 2: Ch3 (counts as a dc), dc in each dc across to end. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 3: Ch3 (counts as a dc), skip first dc, dc in next four dc,\u00a0**\u00a0skip\u00a03 dc,\u00a0(tr, ch4, sc) in next dc, ch3, skip 1 dc, dc in next 5 dc. Repeat from\u00a0** across to the end, the last dc being in the 3rd chain of the turning chain. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 4: Ch3 (counts as a dc), skip first dc, dc in next four dc, ** skip ch3 and sc, (tr, ch4, sc) in next ch4 sp, ch3, dc in next 5 dc. Repeat from ** across to the end, the last dc being in the 3rd chain of the turning chain. Turn.<\/p>\n

Repeat row\u00a04 until afghan is desired length. Finish with the following three rows:<\/p>\n

Third to last row: Ch3 (counts as a dc), skip first dc, dc in next four dc, ** skip ch3 and sc, tr in next ch4 sp, ch2, dc onto the tr just made, ch1, dc in next 5 dc. Repeat from ** across to the end, the last dc being in the 3rd chain of the turning chain. Turn.<\/p>\n

Second to last row: Ch3 (counts as a dc), dc in each dc, chain and tr\u00a0across to end. Turn.<\/p>\n

Last row: Ch3 (counts as a dc), dc in each dc across to end. Finish and weave in end.<\/p>\n

The blanket can be made in a solid color or can be made with any number of color changes. The best way to make a color change is to finish all but the very last pull through of the two loops of the last\u00a0double crochet of a row. Cut yarn with a few inches of tail and join with new color next to stitch. Pull new color through last two loops. Weave in ends.<\/p>\n
