PLEASE READ:

Version 2 is the recommended version to start this blanket. A special thanks to @em_ramsey who came up with Version 2! This helps with chunkier yarn or if you have tight tension. Follow and engage with her TikTok.

Thank you so much to everyone who tested this pattern. All of you were so amazing and I am so happy to have met and spoken to all of you.

NOTES:

Chain 1 does not count as a stitch.

Yarn used in photos is Caron One Pound in Soft Pink & Big Twist in Peppermint Ribbon

We will NOT be turning on each round. 

This will all be in US terms 💖

Materials:

Used size 6mm hook in US & size 4 yarn (go a size up from recommended hook size)

This can be adjusted to whatever yarn you’d like 😊

Stitches:

-ch: chain

-dc: double crochet

-dc2tog: double crochet 2 together cluster

-dc3tog: double crochet 3 together cluster

-cdc: cross double crochet (optional)

-sc: single crochet 

-sc dec: single crochet decrease

-sl st: slip stitch

-sp(s): space or spaces

-st(s): stitch(es) 

IN-DEPTH STS:

sc dec:

-yarn over & insert hook into st/sp 

-pull through st and pull up a loop -insert hook into next st 

-pull through st & pull up a loop 

-pull through all 3 loops

Right-handed                                     Left-handed:

dc2tog (cluster): 

-yarn over & insert hook into st/sp

-yarn over & pull up a loop

-yarn over & pull through 2 loops as if you’re doing a double crochet

-yarn over & insert hook into same st/sp

-yarn over & pull up a loop

-yarn over & pull through two loops as if you’re doing a double crochet

-yarn over & pull through all 3 loops. 

   Right-handed                                     Left-handed:

dc3tog (cluster):

-yarn over & insert hook into your st/sp

-yarn over & pull up a loop

-yarn over & pull through 2 loops as if you were doing a double crochet 

-yarn over & insert hook into same st/sp

-yarn over & pull through 2 loops again as if you were doing a double crochet

-yarn over & pull up a loop 

-yarn over & pull through 2 loops as if you were doing a double crochet

-yarn over & pull through all 4 loops 

Right-handed                                     Left-handed:

Cross Double Crochet (cdc):

-this will be worked in 2s

-in two sts you will skip one st and dc into the second st 

Right-handed                                     Left-handed:

-then yarn over & dc into the skipped st

-this creates an “X” shape

  Right-handed                                     Left-handed
