Striped Blanket Pattern
Starting Chain & Foundation Row
-
Using Medium Pink, chain 91 + 3 (to count as the first DC).
-
Work 1 DC into the 4th chain from the hook, then DC in each chain across. You should now have 92 DC in total. Turn your work.
Row 1 (Pattern Row in Medium Pink)
-
Chain 3 (counts as the first DC).
-
Skip the next stitch, work 2 DC, then go back and DC into the skipped stitch.
-
Repeat from * to * across the row.
-
When only one DC remains (the chain 3 from the previous row), work 1 DC into the top of this chain, changing colour while completing the stitch. Turn.
Continuing the Colour Sequence
Repeat the following steps, changing colour at the end of each pattern row as indicated:
Row 2 (White)
-
Chain 3, work 91 DC across. Turn.
-
Chain 3, follow the same pattern as Row 1, then switch to the next colour.
Row 3 (Shocking Pink)
-
Chain 3, work 91 DC across. Turn.
-
Chain 3, follow the same pattern as Row 1, then switch to the next colour.
Row 4 (White)

Chain 3, work 91 DC across. Turn.
-
Chain 3, follow the same pattern as Row 1, then switch to the next colour.

Repeating the Colour Pattern
Continue this sequence until your blanket reaches the desired length. For reference, my finished blanket has 27 rows, with the final row worked in Shocking Pink before moving on to the edging.
Adding the Edging
After completing your last row, do not fasten off. Instead, change to your edging colour (Shocking Pink in this case) and follow these steps:
Step 1: Single Crochet Border
-
Work 2 SC into each DC along the first side of the blanket (108 SC in total).
-
At the corner, CH 1 and SC in each stitch along the bottom edge (92 SC).
-
CH 1, work 2 SC into each DC along the second side (108 SC).
-
CH 1, work SC in each stitch across the top (92 SC).
-
CH 1 to complete the round.
Step 2: Decorative Edge
-
Work 1 SC, 1 HDC, CH 1, 1 DC, CH 1, 1 HDC, 1 SC.
-
Repeat this pattern along the entire border, adjusting where necessary at the corners.
-
When you reach the final stitches, work 2 SC, 1 slip stitch, and fasten off.
Finishing Touches
-
Weave in all loose ends with a yarn needle.
-
Block your blanket if necessary to ensure it lays flat and retains its shape.
