Last year, I made this blanket by crocheting strips of Wobbly stripes and joining them using the flat braid join.
I've decided to actually write down the pattern this time and make it into something with lots more color. This is very much a pattern in progress and I will update it as I go. For now, the plan is to make this in a baby blanket size.
Supplies:
{As I am stash busting, I am using any leftover Red Heart with Love yarn I have}
Red Heart with Love Yarn in 6 colors
J Hook (6 mm)
tapestry needle
Stitches:
Chain
DC - double crochet
dc2tog - couble crochet together
Pattern:
To make this blanket, I am going to start by making 5 panels in different colors.
To make a panel:
Chain 20. (This will make a receiving blanket size. To make a larger blanket, chain a multiple of 3 plus 2.)
Row 1: DC in the third chain from the hook. Chain 1. *Begin a dc2tog in the same chain, skip one chain, complete the dc2tog in the next chain. Chain 1. * Continue from * to * across. To complete the row, crochet one final dc2tog without skipping a chain between the dcs. Chain 3 and turn.
Row 2: DC in the first chain 1 space. Chain 1. *Begin a dc2tog in the same space and complete it in the next chain 1 space. Chain 1.* Continue from * to * across. To complete the row, begin the last dc2tog in the last chain 1 space and complete it in the top of the chain 3 from the first row. Chain 3 and turn.
Row 3: DC in the first chain 1 space. Chain 1. *Begin a dc2tog in the same space and complete it in the next chain 1 space. Chain 1.* Continue from * to * across. To complete the row, begin the last dc2tog in the last chain 1 space and complete it in the top of the turning chain of the previous row. Chain 3 and turn.
Rows 4-42: The rest of the panel is super simple! Just repeat row 3. If you would like your blanket longer, continue row 3.
