The Throw Blanket

The Throw Blanket

Hello again everyone. Twisted D here again with another free pattern. I'm not good at determining how much yarn you might need for this pattern. The yarn I used was Alive batik Burcum with fill in's of another yarn. Each skine of Alize yarn, was 100g-3.53oz, 210mt-230 yds., & I had 5 skines. One skine gave me almost 10 complete rows.

American terms used
4.5mm hook(or size hook you want)
Yarn of choice
DC=double crochet
SC=single crochet
CH=chain
ST=stitch/stitches
SK=skip
FO=fasten off
(color combination in the yarn & stitches)

Ok; let's get started:

Row 1: ch 179; *sc in second ch from hook; sk 2, 5 dc in next ch*; repeat from *to*( you should end up with 5dc's in the last stitch). Ch 1, turn.

Row 2: * sc in the middle dc of the 5 dc's, 5 dc in the sc* (repeat from *to*), ch 1, turn.

Row 3: * sc in middle dc, 5 dc in sc* (repeat from *to*), ch 1, turn.

Repeat rows 2 & 3 until your work is as long or wide as you wish. Fasten off and weave in the ends. If you want to, you can add a border. I didn't think it needed one though.

Any questions or comments; please don't hesitate to contact me.  Enjoy!
