February 2022 Pattern of the Month Fans and Pansies Ripple Blanket

 

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.

Size	Inches	Length	Oz	yarns
Extra small	31	41.33	27	1368
small	42	55	47	2417
Med	52	69	73	3761
Large	62	83	105	5402
Ex large	72	96	143	7340

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.

Repeat from ** across to last 9 sc, sc in last 9 sc. Finish off and weave in end.

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.

 

Great Grandson

 My great-grandson is a sweet little guy, and I wanted to  brighten up his Christmas will something that he could keep out and hang in his room if he wanted to.

The  little tree that is made with odd and ends of felt, buttons, ribbon and trims, and other cut out Christmas fabric  I had left over from other projects and clothing.

I used buttons and cookie cutters for the ornaments, etc. The back ground material is a piece I had left over from a Christmas tablecloth, and the backing and binding is all from one piece of a cherry red fabric.

The tree trunk is from brown felt and the tree it's self is also from green felt. The planter is just some red material with trim sewn on it.  I had fun making it, and the other one that matches it, too.
