Design by Janelle Schlossman 1979
Copyright Janelle Schlossman
Pattern is to be used for personal use only.
Materials:
*About 7 oz. worsted wt. yarn
*Size J Crochet Hook
Size: 20 ¼” wide by 23 ¼” long
This is also a good size for a small pet or a baby doll.
Loosely chain 76.
1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook & each ch across. Ch 1, turn. (75 sts)
2: Sc in 1st st (same st as ch 1). (ch 1-skip next st-sc in next st)
across ending with a sc in last st. Ch 1, turn.
3: Sc in 1st st; (ch 1-skip next ch 1 sp-sc in next sc) across.
Ch 1, turn.
4-81: Repeat row 3. At end of row 81 do not turn.
82: Ch 2, sc in same sp as ch 2. (counts as a sc-ch1) Sc around
edges of blanket. (working 1 sc in ends of each row, sc-ch1-sc
in each corner, sc in each loop of unworked loops of starting
chain; and a sc in each sc and sp of last row.)
Join with a sl st to 1st ch of beginning ch 2.
Fasten off and weave in loose ends.
You could work a few more rows of sc around edges for a wider
border. (keep in mind you will need a bit more yarn)
For a larger blankie; chain a larger number that is divisible by two. I
originally designed a larger blanket like this for my daughter and usually
started with a base chain of 280 to 300.
