Crochet Wedding Blanket

Materials Needed:

• Yarn: 4 skeins of Karen One Pound (acrylic, midweight) in Canal color
• Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm

Blanket Dimensions:

• Size: 7 feet by 5 feet

Pattern:

Starting Chain:

• Make a chain of 200 (or any even number to adjust the size). This will aim for a 7-foot length.

Row 1:

• Single crochet (sc) across the entire row.

Row 2:

• Chain 2 (ch 2), then double crochet (dc) across the entire row.

For Row 3:

• Repeat Row 1 (single crochet across).
• This creates one set of a "double crochet sandwich" which is SC, DC, SC sequences.

V-stitch Row:

• After the double crochet sandwich,
• Chain 2,
• Skip one stitch, work two double crochets in the next to create the V-stitch.
• Repeat this pattern across the row, ending with a single double crochet in the last stitch.

Post Stitch Row:

• To create texture,
• Alternate between front post double crochet (FPDC) and back post double crochet (BPDC) across the next row.
• Start with a chain 2, then proceed with the alternating post stitches.

Repeat Pattern:

• These steps are repeated according to the desired thickness of the blanket:
• The pattern consists of 18 rows of alternating V-stitch and Post Stitch rows, followed by another "double crochet sandwich".

Border:

• The pattern finishes with another set of double crochet sandwiches around the edges to create a built-in border.
