Tip:

To ensure your blanket holds its shape and maintains its beauty, use a high-quality yarn that is both soft and durable.

Materials Needed:

• Lion Brand’s Ice Cream Big Scoops (Approx. 3 skeins; over 1,000 yards each, weight of 3, 100% acrylic)
• 5 mm size H crochet hook

Pattern Instructions:

In Round 1:

• Begin with a slip knot and chain 4 (ch 4).
• Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
• Chain up 3 (counts as the first double crochet DC).
• Work 2 more double crochets (DC) into the ring.
• Chain 3.
• Work 3 DC into the ring.
• Chain 3.
• Work 3 DC into the ring.
• Chain 3.
• Work 3 DC into the ring.
• Chain 3.
• Slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 3.
• Slip stitch across to the next chain space.

Row 2 (“Solid Row”):

• Chain up 2 (this will act as a DC; can chain 3 for a looser edge if preferred).
• Work 2 DC into the same space.
• Chain 1.
• In the next space, make a corner with: 3 DC, chain 3, and 3 DC.
• Chain 1.
• For the last set of stitches in the row, do 2 DC into the space, and for the third DC, work it into one of the chains from the previous row for a cleaner edge.

Row 3 (“Eyelet/Open Row”):

• Chain up 3 (counts as a DC and chain 1; chain 4 if you use ch-3 at the start of rows).
• Skip to the first chain space and work 3 DC.
• Chain 1.
• Make a corner in the corner space with: 3 DC, chain 3, and 3 DC.
• Chain 1.
• Work 3 DC in the next chain space.

• Chain 1.
• Then, work a DC into the top of the starting/ending DC of the previous row.
• Continue alternating between a “solid row” and an “eyelet row,” ending with an “eyelet row.”

Joining Squares:

• When assembling the blanket, arrange the squares to have their corners meet.
• Use the “join-as-you-go” method to attach the squares together. This can be done by slip stitching through corresponding chain spaces of the adjacent squares or by using a cleaner “pull loop through technique” as demonstrated.

Border (Optional):

• Begin in any corner after assembling the squares.
• Work rounds of granny clusters (3 DC, chain 1) across each edge and corners with 3 DC, chain 3, 3 DC to smooth out edges.
