\"\"<\/a>Little squares ripple on soft waves. This blanket can be made in a solid color or in as many colors as you wish. 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|33.5|44.67|21.22|1093.89~ Small|38.2|50.94|27.59|1422.5~ Medium|42.9|57.2|34.8|1794.2~ Large|47.61|63.47|42.84|2208.99~ Extra Large|52.31|69.74|51.73|2666.88~[\/grid]<\/p>\n

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

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

Special stitch:<\/strong>
\ndc3tog – double crochet 3 stitches together (uses three stitches, decreases by two stitches) – [Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops] 3 times (4 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through all loops on hook.<\/p>\n

The beginning chain should be a multiple of\u00a024 plus 3. There is also a chart<\/a> available.<\/p>\n

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

33.5″ = 171
\n38.25″ = 195
\n43″ = 219
\n47.5″ = 243
\n52.25″ = 267<\/p>\n

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

Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook, sc in next ch, ** ch 2, skip 2 ch, sc in each of next 2 ch. Repeat from ** across to end of row.<\/p>\n

Row 2: Ch 3, turn. 3 dc in\u00a0second sc, (ch 2, dc in each of next 2 sc) twice,\u00a0dc in each of next 4 sc, ch 2,\u00a0dc in each of next 2 sc, ch 2 ** 3 dc in each of next 2 sc, (ch 2, dc in each of next 2 sc) twice, dc in each of next 4 sc, ch 2, dc in each of next 2 sc, ch 2. Repeat from ** across to last 2 sc. 3 dc in next sc, 1 dc in last sc.<\/p>\n

Row 3: Ch 1, turn. Sc in first dc, sc in next 3 dc, ch 2, sc in next two dc, ch 2, ** sc in next 6 dc, ch 2, sc in next 2 dc, ch 2 . Repeat from ** across to last 3 dc and turning ch. Sc in each of last 3 dc, sc in top of turning ch.<\/p>\n

Row 4: Ch 3, turn. Dc in second sc, ch 2, dc in each of next 2 sc, ch2,\u00a0dc in each of next\u00a02 sc, ch 2,\u00a0(dc3tog over next 3 sc) twice, **\u00a0(ch 2, dc in each of next two sc) five times, ch 2, (dc3tog over next 3 sc) twice. Repeat from ** across to last\u00a06 sc.\u00a0(Ch 2, dc in each of next 2 sc) twice, ch2, dc in each of\u00a0last\u00a02 sc.<\/p>\n

Row 5: Ch 1, turn. Sc in first dc, sc in next dc, ch 2, (sc in next two dc, ch 2) twice, sc in next\u00a02 dc3tog, ch 2 **, (sc in next 2 dc, ch 2) five times, sc in next 2 dc3tog, ch 2. Repeat from ** across to last\u00a05 dc and turning ch. (Sc in each of\u00a0next 2 dc, ch 2) twice, sc in last dc, sc in top of turning ch.<\/p>\n

Repeat rows 2 through 5 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 stitich 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
