Follow the key throughout the pattern based on the size blanket you are crocheting: (Baby Blanket, Lapghan)
Size Adjustment: To adjust the size of your blanket, start with a longer or shorter chain. The pattern has a chain multiple of 18 plus 1 stitch. If you want to adjust the size of your blanket, chain in multiples of 18 and add 1 stitch to that. For example, if you were to chain 36, you would then add 1 stitch for a total of 37.
Gauge (4in x 4in): Approximately 6 dc clusters and 5.5 rows
Pattern Notes:
- The chain 3 counts as a stitch.
- A “dc cluster” is a group of 3 dc stitches.
- [PEAK] is the pointed or raised part of the blanket and [VALLEY] is the dipped or indented section of the blanket.
- ( ) – parenthesis: stitches are all worked in one stitch or space.
- I highly recommend making a practice swatch to get the hang of the pattern before starting your blanket. For your swatch, ch 37 and follow the pattern as written.
- If you have trouble identifying the first or last stitch of the row, use stitch markers to help you keep track.
Abbreviations (US):
ch – chain
st(s) – stitch(es)
sk – skip
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
