| Granny Stripes Crochet Blanket |
I enjoy crocheting blankets - this one is very easy.
There are lots of ways to make Granny Stripe blankets - this is how I do it.
3 treble crochet stitches are made together to form a little cluster, just as they are in Granny Squares, but instead of working in rounds, they are worked in rows.
The blankets can be worked in one colour throughout, but I have fun choosing colours to go together.
Requires:
DK yarn – in 1 or more colours
4mm hook
This pattern uses UK terminology
ch = chain
tc = treble crochet
For a blanket of around
25”, chain 100
For a blanket of around 36”, chain 145
It is easy to adjust the
size of your blanket – simply +/- in multiples of 3 ( 100 +/- 3, 6, 9,
12 ………)
Instructions:
Chain 100
Row 1: 1 tc into the third chain *skip 2 stitches, work a 3tc
cluster into the next stitch, repeat from *across row, 2 tc into the last chain,
ch 2, turn
Row 2: Work a 3tc cluster into the first space between the
clusters, *work a 3tc cluster into next space between clusters of the previous
row, repeat from * across row, end with
one tc into the top of the ch 2 at the end of the row. Cut yarn, fasten off, turn
Row 3: Join in next colour, chain 3 and 1tc in the first space,
*3tc clusters into next space, repeat from * across row, 2tc in the top of the
ch 2 at the end of the row, ch 2, turn
Row 4: Work 3tc clusters in all the spaces across as in row 2,
end with one tc into the top of the ch 2 at the end of the row. Cut yarn,
fasten off, turn
Repeat rows three and four until you are happy with the length of your blanket. I usually make blankets square, or a little longer than their width.
Darn away ends
Add a border all around if desired.
I am happy for you to use my patterns for your own use or for charity donations.
