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

This is an original design but is reminiscent of what might have been made a century or two ago. It works well in a solid color or multiple colors.<\/p>\n

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

Size:<\/strong> This blanket can be made any size. Five 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|31|41.33|26.53|1367.76~ Small|41.2|54.94|46.86|2416.2~ Medium|51.41|68.54|72.95|3760.95~ Large|61.61|82.14|104.77|5402~ Extra Large|71.81|95.75|142.35|7339.34~[\/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
\nsc = single crochet<\/p>\n

Special stitches:<\/strong>
\ndc2tog<\/strong> – double crochet\u00a02 stitches together (uses two stitches, decreases by\u00a0one stitch) – [Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops]\u00a02 times (3 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through all loops on hook.
\ndc5tog<\/strong> – double crochet\u00a05 stitches together (uses\u00a0five stitches, decreases by\u00a0four stitches) – [Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops]\u00a05 times (6 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through all loops on hook.<\/p>\n

The beginning chain should be a multiple of\u00a052 plus 2.<\/p>\n

For these widths, start with this number of chains:
\n31″ = 158
\n41.25″ = 210
\n51.5″ = 262
\n61.5″ = 314
\n71.75″ = 366<\/p>\n

After the first row, make all stitches in both loops.<\/p>\n

There is also a chart<\/a> available for this pattern.<\/p>\n

Repeat rows\u00a02 through\u00a07 until afghan is desired length. End with a row\u00a06 then complete these last two rows.<\/p>\n

Next to last row: Ch1, sc in first dc and in each of the next\u00a08 dc, sc in ch4 sp, (dc, ch2, dc) in each of the next two sc, sc in ch7 sp, (dc, ch2, dc) in each of the next two sc, sc in ch4 sp, sc in dc5tog, sc in ch4 sp, (dc, ch2, dc) in each of the next two sc, sc in ch7 sp, (dc, ch2, dc) in each of the next two sc, sc in ch4 sp, ** sc in each of the next\u00a017 dc, sc in ch4 sp, (dc, ch2, dc) in each of the next two sc, sc in ch7 sp, (dc, ch2, dc) in each of the next two sc, sc in ch4 sp, sc in\u00a0dc5tog, sc in ch4 sp, (dc, ch2, dc) in each of the next two sc, sc in ch7 sp, (dc, ch2, dc) in each of the next two sc, sc in ch4 sp.

Last row: Ch1,\u00a0sc in first sc, sc in each of next 9 sc,\u00a0(4dc in ch sp, 4dc in next ch sp, sc in next sc) twice, sc in next 2 sc, (4dc in ch sp, 4dc in next ch sp, sc in next sc) twice, ** sc in next\u00a018 sc,\u00a0(4dc in ch sp, 4dc in next ch sp, sc in next sc) twice,\u00a0sc in next 2 sc, (4dc in ch sp, 4dc in next ch sp, sc in next sc) twice. Repeat from ** across to last\u00a09 sc,\u00a0sc in\u00a0last 9\u00a0sc. Finish off 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\u00a0stitch 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
