Skill Level: www.hollanddesigns.etsy.com
Materials: You may use yarn and hook of choice
with this pattern. Sample blanket used approx. https://www.facebook.com/hollanddesignscrochet
2000 yards of a sport weight yarn and crochet
hook size F (3.75 mm).
Finished Size: You may make this blanket to any dimensions. Sample blanket
measured approx. 30” square before edging.
Pattern Notes:
1. The fpdc (front post double crochet) sts are always worked around the dc sts 2 rows below,
rather than on the previous row of sc. The skipped sc are behind the fpdc you work.
2. Your stitch count should remain the same on every row.
3. Tip: If you find you have made a mistake and your stitch count or placement is off, double
check that you have either worked the correct # of sc sts or skipped the correct # of sc sts.
Any error will be easy to adjust (if need be) by varying the # of skipped sc sts on the RS cable
rows.
4. The top and bottom edges of the blanket have a tendency to curl due to the texture. The
blanket will flatten out as the blanket gets larger, but to help it lay perfectly flat when
finished, you’ll likely want to add an edging such as listed at the end of the pattern.
Blanket:
Row 1: (RS) Make a chain of desired size for blanket width that is a (multiple of
10) + 5 extra chains Sample blanket began with ch 145. Sc in 2nd ch from hook and
in next 4 ch, dc in next 4 ch, (sc in next 6 ch, dc in next 4 ch) across to last 5 ch, sc
in last 5 ch. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: Sc in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 3: (Twist row) Sc in next 5 sc, skip next 2 dc 2 rows below, fpdc around post
of next 2 dc 2 rows below, fpdc around post of 2 skipped dc to the right – twist
made, skip next 4 sc of previous row, (sc in next 6 sc, skip next 2 dc 2 rows below,
fpdc around post of next 2 dc 2 rows below, fpdc around post of 2 skipped dc to

Edging:
Rnd 1: Hdc evenly around all 4
sides of blanket, working 5 hdc at
each of the 4 corners. Note: I
worked (hdc in end of next 2 rows,
skip 1 row) along sides of blanket
to get a nice straight edge. Join
with sl st to 1st hdc. (Ensure you
have worked an even # of sts on
this rnd, so ribbing of rnd 2 will
work out correctly. You can easily
adjust your stitch count on rnd 2 if
need be, rather than counting your
sts on rnd 1.)
Rnd 2: Ch 2, fphdc around post of
next hdc, (bphdc around post of
next hdc, fphdc around post of next
hdc) around. Join with sl st to top
of beg ch-2.
Rnd 3: Repeat rnd 2.
Fasten off.
