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

This lacy throw looks classy in a solid color, but can be made with stripes. The example is made in worsted weight acrylic yarn.<\/p>\n

Size:<\/strong>
\nThis 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|35|46.67|26.67|1376.67~ Small|41.67|55.56|37.79|1951.06~ Medium|48.33|64.44|50.85|2625.34~ Large|55|73.33|65.85|3399.52~ Extra Large|61.67|82.22|82.78|4273.6~[\/grid]<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/strong>
\nWorsted weight yarn
\nSize I (5.5mm) crochet hook<\/p>\n

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

Special stitch:<\/strong>
\nCluster<\/strong> \u2013 in ch sp indicated (yo, insert hook in ch sp, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook) three times, yo and draw through all 4 loops on hook.<\/p>\n

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

The beginning chain should be a multiple of 12 plus 6.<\/p>\n

For these widths, start with this number of chains:
\n35″ = 126
\n41.75″ = 150
\n48.25″ = 174
\n55″ = 198
\n61.75″ = 222<\/p>\n

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

Row 1: Dc in 5th chain from hook. Dc in each chain across row.<\/p>\n

Row 2: Ch 3. Turn. Dc in second dc and in each dc across. Dc in next ch.<\/p>\n

Row 3: Ch 3. Turn. Dc in second dc and in each dc across. Dc in top of turning ch.<\/p>\n

Row 4: Ch 1. Turn. Sc in first dc and in each of the next 6 dc. Ch 2, skip 1 dc, sc in next dc, ** skip 3 dc, work (3 tr, ch 4, sc) in next dc, ch 2, skip 1 dc, work (sc, ch 4, 3 tr) in next dc, skip 3 dc, sc in next dc, ch 2, skip 1 dc, sc in next dc. Repeat from ** to last 5 dc. Sc in each remaining dc in and in top of turning chain.<\/p>\n

Row 5: Ch 3. Turn. Skip first sc, dc in each of next 6 sc, ch 1, dc in next ch-2 sp, ch 1, skip 3 tr, sc in top of ch-4, ch 2, work Cluster in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, skip 3 ch, sc in next ch, ch 1, ** work (dc, ch 1, dc) in next ch-2 sp, ch 1, skip 3 tr, sc in top of ch-4, ch 2, work Cluster in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, skip 3 ch, sc in next ch, ch 1. Repeat from ** to last ch-2 sp. Dc in last ch-2 sp, ch 1, dc in each of last 7 sc.<\/p>\n

Row 6: Ch 1. Turn. Sc in first dc and in each of the next 6 dc. ch 2, skip (ch and dc), ** sc in next ch-1 sp, work (3 tr, ch 4, sc) in next ch-2 sp, ch 2, skip Cluster, work (sc, ch 4, 3 tr) in next ch-2 sp, sc in next ch-1 sp, ch 2, skip 1 ch-1 sp. Repeat from ** to last 6 dc and turning chain. Sc in each remaining dc in and in top of turning chain.<\/p>\n

Repeat rows 5 and 6 until afghan is desired length. After a row 5, work these final three rows.<\/p>\n

Third to last row: Ch 3. Turn. Dc in second dc and in each st across. Dc in top of turning ch.<\/p>\n

Second to last row: Ch 3. Turn. Dc in second dc and in each dc across. Dc in top of turning ch.<\/p>\n

Last row: Ch 3. Turn. Dc in second dc and in each dc across. Dc in top of turning ch. 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 stitch 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
