Mustard Stripe Blanket
Free Pattern!
Sometimes I need to clear my head and there is no better way than to grab some gorgeous chunky yarn, a size 8mm hook and get stuck in to a project! The result is this fabulous mustard stripe blanket.
An easy stitch that works up so fast you will have finished before you know it and so much texture! Ready to snuggle up over the winter?
The blanket is made with griddle stitch and I used 8 100g balls of King Cole Chunky Tweed in beige and mustard. It has a fleck which adds to the texture and the two colours together are perfect. The finished blanket measures 125 x 105 cm (49 x 41 in) approx. but, of course you can make it the size you want by adding or subtracting foundations chains and rows.
You will need:
4 x 100g chunky yarn in one colour
4 x 100g chunky yarn in a second colour
8mm crochet hook
Needle for weaving in ends
Scissors
Abbreviations:
US (UK)
CH = chain
SC = single crochet (Double Crochet)
DC = double crochet (Treble Crochet)
FO = fasten off
The Pattern:
Turning CH counts as a stitch throughout.
CH 102 (or multiples of 2 plus 2CH to turn)
1. SC 2nd CH from hook, * DC, SC * Repeat along row ending with SC, CH 2 turn. (100 stitches)
2. *SC on top of DC from previous row, DC on top of SC from previous row* Repeat along row ending with SC in turning CH, CH 2 turn.
And that is it! Repeat row 2 throughout. Keep an eye on the amount of yarn you have left as you near the end of the ball and are ready to change colour to save having to undo half a row.
FO and weave in ends.
Now grab a coffee, a couple of chocolate biscuits and find a box set to binge because it is snuggle on the sofa time!
