Make 1 dc in the top of the turning chains of the row below:Ĭhange colors. Make 3 dc in space between the 3 dc clusters in the row below: row 3Ĭontinue this until the end, making only 2 dc sts in the last st of the row. At the end of this row, pull your next color through, ch 3, and turn. I like to crochet over the tail for at least 5 inches before snipping the end of it. You can work over your tails for rows like this so that you don’t have to sew them in later: The turning chains count as your first stitch of the row (and will for all rows to come unless otherwise specified). This is how we will finish every row where we change colors: To finish the row, pull your next color through to finish the stitch. Make hdcs all the way across, but don’t pull the final loop through the last stitch! Stop at this point: In the 3rd chain from your hook, make 1 hdc: So for example, since I chained 192 + the 2 turning chains that count as 1 stitch, I will have 193 stitches in all of my rows. With my DK weight yarn and my H/8/5mm, I chained 194 total to make my throw about 50″/127cm wide, but you make yours however long you want to! As long as it’s a multiple of 24 plus 2 you’re fine! Double, no, TRIPLE check you have the right number so you don’t have to start over later! Edit: I should also say that because the 2 turning chains count as your first hdc, you should have an odd number of stitches for every row in your blanket (you will have a multiple of 24 + 1 stitches). Then chain 2 more for our turning chains.
Hook size H/8 (5.00 mm), or whatever hook suits your specific yarn.īegin by chaining any multiple of 24 (i.e.
You can use any colors or indeed any kind of yarn that you would like! It was a close call though, so if you plan on making something larger than a throw I’d definitely get two balls of each color (but you could still just get 1 for the border color). Here is the finished pattern for the as-we-go stripey blanket that was written up during not your average crochet’s very first crochet along! I hope you enjoy it!

Here’s a handy chart:įor my throw sized blanket I used 11 skeins of Stylecraft Special DK (in shades Parchment, Meadow, Fondant, Sherbet, Aspen, Apricot, Candyfloss, Lavender, Aster, Lipstick, and Pale Rose for the border).
