Repeat and Bracket Guide

Square brackets [ ] are used for small repeats: 4dc, [2dc, 3tr, 2dc] 2 times

Asterisks *are used for repeats that include small repeats: *5dc, [1ch, 1dc] 3 times in next ch, rep from * 3 times

Round brackets ( ) are used when a string of stitches are worked into the same spot: (3tr, 3ch, 3tr) in next st

Stitch Counts are given at the end of rows where necessary, in the following format: [12 dc, 3 sp]

Tips and Notes

  • Weave your ends after each time you cut the yarn to avoid having to do them all at the end.
  • Please read the stitch guide for any abbreviations.
  • To get a neater result, I do not “chain up” for the first sc of the round/row. Jump straight into the first sc.

Joining Method: Slip Stitch through BLO

Lay out motifs to match schematic below. Center panel motifs are laid out completely randomly, including the orientation of the triangle squares. Join motifs together using one size larger hook as follows.

  1. Hold 2 motifs with right sides together, and use Yarn A.
  2. Pull Yarn A through the BLO of the corner st of both motifs, back to front, and make a ch to join the yarn on.
  3. Make ss through both BLO of the next st to the left.  
  4. Make ss across all horizontal seams, cutting yarn at the end of the rows.
  5. When there are no more horizontal seams, rotate the piece, and begin crocheting all vertical seams.

Optional One-Round Blanket Border

Join Yarn A in any corner, make dc in BLO of all sts around the blanket, working only 1dc in the corners, ss in first dc, cut yarn. Alternatively, any border may be added if desired.

Blanket is complete!

Finishing

Yay! All done! Give yourself a fist bump!
