Crochet Moss Berry Ridge Blanket

Materials Used:

• 3 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver yarn in the Erin color (acrylic yarn)
• 9 millimeter Susan Bates hook with pointy end (suitable for berry stitches)

Blanket Dimensions:

• 6 feet by 4 feet

Starting Chain:

• Chain 130 (or any even number that suits your project size)

Pattern Steps:

Row 1:

• Begin with a row of single crochet (SC).

In Row 2:

• Make a berry stitch (BSt) row.

Row 3:

• Add another row of single crochet.

Row 4 & 5:

• Do a front post single crochet (Fpsc) row followed by another SC row.

For Row 6 to 15:

• Work 10 rows of even moss stitch.

Row 16:

• Add a row combining SC and front post single crochet (alternating).

Row 17:

• Finish off with a berry stitch row.

Additional Instructions:

Berry Stitch Row:

• Start with a berry stitch to give it a nice centerpiece look. End this section with another row of berry stitch before adding the fringe, creating a berry stitch border.

Ending Rows:

• To keep your edges clean and straight, end every row with a slip stitch and chain one, then turn. This method helps to keep track of your stitch count and maintains a straight edge.

Even Moss Stitch:

• This portion consists of alternating half double crochet (HDC) and slip stitch (SLST), ensuring that you end on a slip stitch if you've counted your stitches correctly. Repeat this pattern for the recommended 10 rows for the blanket's midsection.

Finishing Edges and Fringe:

• Add a border by inserting your hook into a corner and doing two rows of single crochet, followed by one row of berry stitch.
• For the fringe, chain out ten (or your choice of length) and work your way back down with slip stitches. Attach the fringe evenly along the edge, considering spacing for a fuller or less dense appearance.

Important Tips:

• Keep your rows straight by being mindful at the end of each row to use the slip stitch technique as instructed.
• Count your stitches, especially when working on pattern transitions to ensure consistency and prevent having to undo any work.

Conclusion:

• This intricate pattern combines texture and comfort, with the even moss stitch and berry stitches adding a cozy, decorative touch. Always refer to the daisyfarmcrafts.com website for the complete written pattern and additional tips.
