Question
Muffin183
Hi,
I'm a knitter who would love to crochet. I'm expecting a baby next year and would love to crochet a baby blanket. I have all the items I need including a pattern but I'm struggling on how to make it.
I'm assuming it's an American pattern but it says
Notes:
- dc2tog: *yo, insert hook into next st, yo, pull through once, yo, pull through two loops (two loops remain)*
- repeat from * to *, yo, pull through remaining three loops.
- BLO = back loop only
Note:
Stitch pattern is worked in multiples of 12 (+ 3 for turning chain)
Pattern:
King Size: Ch 399 sts (includes 3 sts for turning ch)
Queen Size: Ch 303 sts (includes 3 sts for turning ch)
Twin Size: Ch 207 sts (includes 3 sts for turning ch)
Crib Size: Ch 159 sts (includes 3 sts for turning ch)
Row 1:
- 1 dc in 4th ch from hook
- *3dc, dc2tog (twice), 3 dc, 2 dc in next in next st (twice)*
- repeat until 11 stitches remain in this row, 3 DC, dc2tog (twice), 3 DC, 2 DC in last stitch.
Row 2 (work in BLO from this point on):
- Turn work, ch 3.
- 1 dc in 4th ch from hook
- *3dc, dc2tog (twice), 3 dc, 2 dc in next in next st (twice)*
- repeat until 11 stitches remain in this row, 3 DC, dc2tog (twice), 3 DC, 2 DC in last stitch.
- change color
Row 3
- Repeat row 2 from this point on; work 2 rows per color.
My yarn naturally changes colour so I won't be changing it.
I just don't know where to start. I've made a granny square 2yrs ago so I've kind of forgotten what to do.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
