Hello You!

This pattern will teach you how to make the most simple yet pretty blanket. It only uses 2 basic stitches (double and treble crochet, UK terms) and is a 2 row repeat so is perfect if you are a beginner and want to increase your confidence in making large (or small) crochet pieces. That being said, you can make this blanket as small or as large as you would like and you can add in as many different colours of yarn that you would like. You could try stripes or even blocks of colour like I have done in my blanket. To finish off my blanket, I edged it with a crab stitch border but you can use what ever border you would like! Ready to get making? Grab your cup of tea and lets gather our supplies.

If you are more of a visual learner, you can find the video for this pattern on YouTube here –

If you are left handed don’t worry, I’ve got you!

Supplies

• Any yarn of your choice and corresponding hook size
• Scissors
• Darning needle to weave in ends

Pattern – (This pattern uses UK terminology)

To begin, start by making a slip knot and chain to your desired width of your blanket. Make sure you end your chain on an even number.

Round 1 – Treble crochet into the second chain from the hook (tip – don’t count the chain on your hook!), double crochet into the next chain space. Continue with this sequence (tc in one space, dc in the next) until you get to the end of your row. You should end on a treble crochet. Chain 1 and turn.

Round 2 – We are going to working the opposite to the stitch that we did in round 1 so start with a dc in the first stitch and then treble in the next. Repeat this until to get to the end of the row (you should end on a dc), chain 1 and turn.

That’s it! That is the 2 row repeat that will make your blanket, I know right? SUPER easy!
