Step-by-Step Instructions

Pattern Notes

• The blanket is made from 7 vertical strips, each worked in a unique stripe sequence.
• Color Change Technique: To change color, work the last stitch of the old color until the last yarn over, then yarn over with the new color and pull through all loops to complete the stitch. Fasten off the old color.
• After all strips are complete, sew them together using a whip stitch or mattress stitch, then add a border around the entire blanket.
• The chain 2 at the beginning of each row counts as the first half double crochet stitch.
