Crochet Gingham Blanket WRITTEN PATTERN

USA STITCH TERMS

Yarn: You will need 3 colours of yarn.

Hook Size(s): according to your yarn

For my personal blanket, I used Papatya Super Stitch Yarn with a 5.5mm Hook.

I used 2 balls of cream (shade 1200), 4 balls of beige (shade 4120) and 5 balls of mustard (shade 8740) - (I used 2 of those 5 balls of the mustard for the border)

Abbreviations:

• Ch = Chain

• DC = Double Crochet

• St = Stitch

Gauge Block: Using your preferred yarn and hook size, create a block to determine how many rows you need to create a square looking block. The Ch will be the width of your block.

Row 1: Ch 13

DC into the 5th Ch from your hook.

DC in each of the remaining Chs across.

Row 2: Ch 1, turn work.

DC in each st across.

Repeat Row 2 until your piece is square. This will be the size of your blocks. Note how many rows, and continue to the pattern.

Pattern Math:

Pattern multiple is 20 plus 13.

You need an odd number of blocks.

Every 20 sts creates 2 blocks. The 13 sts at the end creates your last block, giving you an odd number of blocks.

I chained 133 chains to start (13 blocks wide) and made 19 blocks in length (total of 95 rows) My entire blanket (including the border) is approximately 47 inches x 58 inches (119cm x 147cm)

Blanket Pattern:

Row 1: Using your first yarn colour, Ch the number you need for the width of the blanket you would like.

DC in the 5th Ch from hook.

DC in next 8 sts.

In next st, start DC, finish st with second yarn colour.

Repeat * Carry yarn, DC in next 9 sts.

In next st, start DC, finish st with first yarn colour.

Carry yarn, DC in next 9 sts.

In next st, start DC, finish st with second yarn colour. * until you have reached the end of your chain.

Row 2: Carrying second yarn colour yarn up, Ch 1 with first Colour, turn.

Repeat * DC in next 9 sts.

In next st, start DC, finish st with second yarn colour. *

Carry yarn, DC in next 9 sts.

In next st, start DC, finish st with first yarn colour. * until end of row.

Keep repeating Row 2 until you reach the row count you have from your gauge block.

On the very last st of your last row, we are going to switch our colour pattern. In last st, start DC in current colour, finish st with second yarn colour.

This completes your first set of blocks.

Next Set of Blocks:

Row 1 : Using second colour, Ch 1. Turn work.

Repeat * DC in next 9 sts.

In next st, start DC, finish st with third yarn colour. *

Carry yarn, DC in next 9 sts.

In next st, start DC, finish st with second yarn colour. * until end of row.

Keep repeating Row 1 until you reach the row count you have from your gauge block.

Continue repeating your colour pattern from the first and second set of blocks until you reach the length you desire.

Tie off and weave in any loose ends.

👉 THE BORDER: I followed 2 different tutorials for this. To begin, I prepared my edging using this method from It's all in a Nutshell Crochet https://youtu.be/T2GZmkrxbXo I then used this border from Daisy Farm Crafts https://youtu.be/oM5qMrw8fxY (I chained 12 for my starting chain on the ribbed border 😊)

Happy Crocheting!
