Setup:

• Skip the first vertical bar.

Forward Pass:

• Insert the hook under the next two vertical bars, yarn over and pull through both, leaving the loop on the hook. Go back to the first of these two bars, insert the hook, yarn over and pull through, creating a cross.

Repeat:

• across the row, ensuring each set of loops form an “X” or cross.

Reverse Pass:

• Yarn over and pull through one loop, then yarn over and pull through two loops until one loop remains.

Color Change:

• During Reverse Pass: Leave two loops on the hook, attach the new color by pulling it through the two loops.

Working Around:

• Place 3 double crochets in each corner for a rounded edge, and double crochet in each stitch around the blanket.
• Front Post/Back Post Double Crochets for an added texture in the second round of the border.

Finishing Touches:

• In the last row of the main pattern, slip stitch through the loops instead of leaving them on the hook.

Border Cast Off:

Weave in Ends:

• Secure and hide all yarn tails with a tapestry needle.
