Materials
1. Super Bulky(size 6) Yarn. Bernat Blanket Yarn in colors Vintage White and Dark Grey
was used for the afghan pictured.
2. Size N/P (10mm) crochet hook.
3. Size I (5.5mm) crochet hook for weaving in the tails.
Finished Size
37 inches X 36 inches.
Yardage
The blanket took 2 skeins of Bernat Blanket yarn, one in each color. If you are substituting
with another yarn, know that each skein of Bernat Blanket contains 220 yards each. If you
plan to make a bigger blanket, you will obviously need to purchase more yarn for your
project.
Gauge
2 pattern repeats = 4 inches
4 Rows= 5 inches

chains.
Notes
1. At the end of each row, after you join the next color, you should fasten off your
previous color. Working over the yarn tails won't work for this project.
2. To join a new color at the end of a row, when working your last st, pull the new color
through when you have 2 loops left on your hook. You will then make the turning ch in
the new color joined. You can see a video on changing colors here.
3. You change colors at the end of every row.
Row 1: 1 sc in the 2nd ch from hook and each ch across to end, join the second color while
working your last sc, turn.-------56 sc
Row 2: Ch 3 in new color joined ( counts as first dc here and throughout), sk 1 st, 3 dc in
next, *(sk next 2 sts, 3 dc in next), repeat from * until you have 2 sts left, sk next st, 1 dc in
last st while joining the new color, turn. ---------56 dc
Row 3: Ch 3, sk the next dc, 3 dc in next,*( sk the next 2 dc, 3 dc in next), repeat from *
until 2 sts are left, sk the next st, 1 dc on top of beginning ch-3 while joining the next color,
turn.-------56 dc
Repeat Row 3 until your blanket is 36 inches. To add to the length of the blanket keep
repeating this row to the desired length. Fasten off.
Finishing
Use a smaller I(5.5mm) hook to weave in the tails as your super bulky yarn may not fit into
the eye of your regular yarn needle. Weave in the tails along the top of the triangle
formations and not its base.
