The reason this is a scrap blanket is because I start lots of projects and never finish them so I end up with a lot of half skeins of yarn. Also, last May my great aunt passed away and she was an avid knitter so when we were cleaning out her house I picked yarn out that I liked. She had so many different kinds of half used skeins just like me so I decided to make a blanket with it.
I want to link the exact pattern that I used but I cant remember which I used! I don't think I followed the pattern exactly, so I will just explain what I did and if this is your pattern, just let me know and I will give you credit. :)
Pattern:
Gauge: I have never used a gauge in my life, I'm sorry.
Hook: I use a US H8/5.00mm crochet hook.
This blanket can be made into any size, for the base layer Chain in sequences of 26+3, which means you multiply 26 by a number to get it as big as you want your blanket to be and add 3, each series of 26 chains is one chevron. I hope that made sense, my blanket is made up of seven chevrons which is a total of 182 chains + 3. So for the rest of this pattern that is what I will be using.
Ch 185
Row 1: 2 dc in third chain from hook (beginning skipped chains count as first dc), dc in next 9 ch, dc3tog. *dc3tog, dc over next 9 ch, 3 dc in next 2 ch, dc in next 9 ch, dc3tog* repeat until there are 13 ch left. dc3tog, dc in next 9 ch, 3 dc in next ch. Turn work around.
Rows 2-5: Ch 3, (ch counts as first dc, and throughout) 2 dc in first st, dc in next 9 st, dc3tog, *dc3tog, dc in next 9 st, 3 dc in next 2 st, dc in next 9 st, dc3tog* repeat until there are 13 st left, dc3tog, dc in next 9 st, 3 dc in next st. Turn work around. Fasten off and rejoin with next solid color.
Rows 6-8: Ch 3, 2 dc in first st, dc in next 9 st, dc3tog, *dc3tog, dc in next 9 st, 3 dc in next 2 st, dc in next 9 st, dc3tog* repeat until there are 13 st left, dc3tog, dc in next 9 st, 3 dc in next st. Turn work around. Fasten off and rejoin with next variegated color.
Rows 9-??: Repeat with switching colors from 5 variegated rows, and 3 solid rows until blanket is the desired length. Since I have not finished my blanket I can't tell you how many to do. My guess is anywhere between 96-152 rows depending on how long you want you blanket to be, I'm just going to cross that bridge when I come to it.
Alright Dearies I Hope You All Have a Wonderful Day!!
