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

This is a lightweight and gender neutral blanket. 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|32|42.67|25.1|1294.22~ Small|38.33|51.11|36.01|1856.86~ Medium|44.66|59.55|48.89|2520.77~ Large|50.99|67.99|63.73|3285.96~ Extra Large|57.32|76.42|80.54|4152.42~[\/grid]<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/strong> Worsted weight yarn Size H (5mm) crochet hook<\/p>\n

Abbreviations:<\/strong>
\nch = chain
\ndc = double crochet<\/p>\n

Special stitch:<\/strong>
\nv-stitch<\/strong> – in stitch indicated, 1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc.<\/p>\n

The beginning chain should be a multiple of\u00a036 plus 2.<\/p>\n

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

For these widths, start with this number of chains:<\/p>\n

32″ = 182
\n38.25″ = 218
\n44.75″ = 254
\n51″ = 290
\n57.25″ = 326<\/p>\n

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

Row 1: V-stitch in 5th ch from hook, v-stitch in next ch, skip 4 ch, v-stitch in each of next two ch, skip 4 ch, v-stitch in next ch, dc in next ch, skip 4 ch, dc in next ch, v-stitch in next ch, (skip 4 ch, v-stitch in each of next two ch) twice, **skip 1 ch, dc in each of next two ch,\u00a0 skip 1 ch, (v-stitch in each of next two ch, skip 4 ch) twice, v-stitch in next ch, dc in next ch, skip 4 ch, dc in next ch, v-stitch in next ch, (skip 4 ch, v-stitch in each of next two ch) twice. Repeat from ** across to last 2 ch, skip 1 ch, dc in last ch. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 2: Ch 4, dc in first dc, skip 1 dc, (v-stitch in each of next two dc, skip 2 dc) twice, v-stitch in next dc, skip 2 dc, v-stitch in next dc, (skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc) twice, ** skip 1 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc,\u00a0 skip 1 dc,\u00a0 (v-stitch in each of next two dc, skip 2 dc) twice, v-stitch in next dc, skip 2 dc, v-stitch in next dc, (skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc) twice. Repeat from ** across to last dc and turning ch, skip 1 dc and v-stitch in top of turning ch. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 3: Ch 3, v-stitch in first dc, (skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc) twice, skip 2 dc, dc in each of the next two dc, (skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc) twice, ** skip 2 dc, v-stitch and dc in next dc, dc and v-stitch in next dc, (skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc) twice, skip 2 dc, dc in each of the next two dc, (skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc) twice. Repeat from ** across to last 2 dc and turning ch, skip 2 dc, v-stitch and dc in third ch of turning ch. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 4: Ch 4, dc in first dc, v-stitch in next dc, (skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc) twice, skip 4 dc, (v-stitch in each of next two dc, skip 2 dc) twice, ** v-stitch in each of next 4 dc, (skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc) twice, skip 4 dc, (v-stitch in each of next two dc, skip 2 dc) twice. Repeat from ** across to last 3 dc and turning chain, v-stitch in last dc, v-stitch in top of turning chain. Turn.<\/p>\n

Row 5: Ch 3, v-stitch in second dc, v-stitch in next dc, skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc, skip 2 dc, v-stitch in next dc, dc in next dc, skip 2 dc, dc in next dc, v-stitch in next dc, (skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc) twice, **skip 1 ch, dc in each of next two dc,\u00a0 skip 1 ch, (v-stitch in each of next two dc, skip 2 dc) twice, v-stitch in next dc, dc in next dc, skip 2 dc, dc in next dc, v-stitch in next dc, (skip 2 dc, v-stitch in each of next two dc) twice. Repeat from ** across to turning chain, skip 1 ch, dc in third ch. Turn.<\/p>\n

Repeat rows 2 through\u00a05 until afghan is desired length. 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\u00a0stitich 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
