Pattern

Starting with color Quartz, ch 120.

Row 1: Tr in 4th ch from hook, tr in next stitch, and across till end of row. Turn. (117).

Row 2: ch 3, skip the first stitch, and work a tr in the next stitch. Continue by working a tr in each stitch across the row. Turn. (116).

Row 3 – Row 36: Repeat row 2.

Once you have finished your last row, it’s time to work the border portion of the blanket.

The border of the blanket is made by first working a single crochet border. The single crochet border is made in the same color as the blanket. Once you have finished the single crochet border, you will then work the pom-pom border.

The pom-pom border is made with Lion Brand Wool Ease Yarn in the color Fisherman.

Single Crochet Border

Start the border by first making a ch (place a stitch marker), then work 1 sc in the corner, and then 2 more on the side for a total of 3 sc. Now continue by working 3 sc per row on the side of your blanket.

Once you have reached a corner, make 2 sc. Now you will make a sc in each chain(foundation chain), and then work 2 sc in the next corner, followed by 3 sc on the side again.

Once you have finished your side, work 2 sc in the last corner, and then work 1 sc in each stitch until you reach the end. Once you have completed your last stitch, work a ss into the chain to connect the border.

Once you have completed your sc border, cut your yarn, and continue by making the pom-pom border.

Pom-Pom Border

Start by re-attaching your new color of yarn (in the first stitch next to your chain where you made your sc border) and make 1 sc in the same stitch where you added your yarn, then:

*Make 6 ch’s, and work 3dc-cl into the 3rd chain from the hook, and then make a ch to close the cluster. Ch 2, and work another 3dc-cl into the 3rd chain from the hook, then ch 1 to close the cluster.

Now you want to put your two clusters together (just push the top one over the other) and make a slip ss into the 3rd chain of where you made your first cluster. Then ch 3, skip 3 stitches, and make a sc into the 4th stitch.

Now continue to repeat this sequence from * all the way around the blanket. Once you have reached your last couple of stitches, you will only be able to skip 2, instead of 3 (there will only be two stitches left) for the very last pom-pom.

Finally, ss to the first sc you made when starting your pom-pom border. Then cut your yarn, and work in any remaining ends.

You’re finished. I hope you enjoyed making this pattern!
