General Notations: A cluster st at beginning of each round is made as follows: ch 3 (to count as 1 d c), 2 more d c in same space, keeping last loop of each d c on hook, thread over and work off all loops at one time (this completes a cluster st at beginning of the round).

The regular cluster sts through 1st 12 rounds of doily are made as follows: 3 d c in same space keeping last loop of each d c on hook, thread over and work off all loops at one time.

At My House

February 2022 Pattern of the Month

 


Fans and Pansies Ripple Blanket


This is an original design but is reminiscent of what might have been made a century or two ago. It works well in a solid color or multiple colors.

The example is made in light worsted weight mechanized cotton.

Size: This blanket can be made any size. Five widths are given in the directions.

Materials: Worsted weight yarn Size H (5mm) crochet hook

Abbreviations:
ch = chain
ch sp = chain space
dc = double crochet
sc = single crochet

Special stitches:
dc2tog – double crochet 2 stitches together (uses two stitches, decreases by one stitch) – [Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops] 2 times (3 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through all loops on hook.
dc5tog – double crochet 5 stitches together (uses five stitches, decreases by four stitches) – [Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops] 5 times (6 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through all loops on hook.

The beginning chain should be a multiple of 52 plus 2.

For these widths, start with this number of chains:
31? = 158
41.25? = 210
51.5? = 262
61.5? = 314
71.75? = 366

After the first row, make all stitches in both loops.

The blanket can be made in a solid color or can be made with any number of color changes. The best way to make a color change is to finish all but the very last pull through of the two loops of the last stitch of a row. Cut yarn with a few inches of tail and join with new color next to stitch. Pull new color through last two loops. Weave in ends.
