Mornings Blanket. Crochet Pattern

If you follow my posts for a while, you might have been noticed that I don’t make blankets too often! Actually, I don’t have any blanket pattern here on my website. But this Mornings Blanket is something that I needed around the house and I think it turned out really beautiful!

This project was sponsored by Furls Crochet as part of Furls Crochet Blog Hop 2021 and the post contains affiliate links.

I know it might be too hot to work on a blanket now, but this Mornings Blanket is lightweight, perfect for summer cooler mornings or even evenings. Plus, it is beautiful to lay down on the couch and make it an ideal home accessory.

Let’s see the materials you will need and how to make this beautiful blanket!

MATERIALS

- Medium Weight Yarn
Crochet Hook
6 mm crochet hook ( Furls Streamline Swirl)

NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

This blanket has a modular construction, out of squares, joined as you go.

The pattern is worked in two different colors. Some of the squares are worked in one single color, and some of them using both colors.

I used Wander Premium Acrylic Yarn by Furls, in colors Snow and Canary.

For one blanket in the sample size, you will need 3 skeins of each color.

TENSION (GAUGE)

NOTES

The shawl construction is modular, out of squares.

Work the squares in rounds. Join each round with a slip stitch.

Each square has 4 rounds. Except for the first square, work the first 3 rounds and use round 4 for joining.

3ch at the beginning of a round counts as the first double crochet.

1ch at the beginning of a round does not count as the first single crochet.

To work a square in 2 colors, work the first 2 round in one color, then change into the second color and work the last 2 rounds

To change the color, work the slip stitch at the end of the round with the next color.

The shawl has 5 squares in width and 7 squares in length.

Start with the first 5 squares and then add 6 more rows of 5 squares.

Starting with round 2 of squares, join all the other squares from right to left.

JOINING THE SQUARES

Joining one side (chart 2)

Square A = finished square

Square B = current square

Square A on the wrong side, Square B on the right side

Work first 3 rounds of square B.

Start round 4 and work until the 1^st corner. In the 3 chain space from the corner chain 3 (instead of 7), 1sc into the 7ch – sp corner of square A, 3ch, 1sc into square B corner, *2ch, 1sc into the next 5ch – sp of the square A, 2ch, 1sc into the next 3ch-sp of the square B. *Rep until the next corner.

After joining the second corner, continue working round 4 of square B.

Joining 2 sides (chart 3)

Except for the first square in a row, join all the other squares on 2 sides: One side with the correspondent square on the previous row and one side with the square earlier in the same row.

Square A = correspondent square on the previous row

Square B = earlier square

Square C = current square

Squares B and C are on the wrong side

Work first 3 rounds of square B.

Work the 4^th round to the 1^st corner, 1sc in the 7ch-sp (the corner in the right) of square A. Continue joining Square C with square A, including the second corner, following the steps from Joining one side section, and then join in the same way with square B.

Continue to add squares until you complete the length of the blanket.

TO FINISH

Weave in all looser ends and block to measurements.

Optional you can add fringe.

Step 1: Wrap the yarn over the cardboard width three times.

Step 2: take off the yarn from the cardboard.

Step 3: Cut the loops from one end

Step 4: take the other end with loops, and insert it into the 5ch-sp of the blanket edge.
