BLANKET Triangle I Ch 84. Row 1 (RS): Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each sc across – you will have 83 sc. Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as first hdc in this row and in all following rows), turn, hdc in next st and each st across. Row 3 (Decrease Row): Ch 2, turn, working through back loops only, hdc2tog, hdc in each st to last 3 sts, hdc2tog, working through both loops, hdc in last st (top of turning ch) – 81 sts. Row 4 (Decrease Row): Ch 2, turn, working through both loops, hdc2tog, hdc in each st to last 3 sts, hdc2tog, hdc in last st – 79 sts. Row 5 (Decrease Row): Rep Row 3 –77 sts. Row 6: Ch 3 (counts as hdc, ch 1), turn, working through both loops, sk next st, hdc in next st, *ch 1, sk next st, hdc in next st; rep from * across – 39 hdc and 38 ch-1 sps. Notes: In the next row, work into each hdc and ch-1 sp, working through the back loops only of the hdc sts. Work through the back loops only of hdc sts in all odd-numbered rows. Row 7 (Decrease Row): Ch 2, turn, hdc2tog, hdc in each ch-1 sp and hdc to last st before turning ch-sp, hdc2tog, hdc in 2nd ch of turning ch – 75 sts. Rows 8-51: Rep Rows 4-7 eleven times – 9 sts at the end of Row 51. Rows 52 and 53: Rep Rows 4 and 5 – 5 sts at the end of Row 53. Row 54: Ch 2, turn, working through both loops, hdc in next st and each st across. Row 55: Ch 2, turn, hdc3tog, hdc in last st – 3 sts. Row 56: Ch 1, turn, sk first 2 sts, sc in top of turning ch – 1 st. Do not fasten off. |
Step 3 |
Triangle II Row 1 (RS): Ch 1, turn, work 83 sc as evenly spaced as possible across side edge of Triangle I – 83 sc. Rows 2-56: Work same as Rows 2-56 of Triangle I. Do not fasten off. |
Step 4 |
Triangles III-VI Row 1 (RS): Ch 1, turn, work 83 sc as evenly spaced as possible across side edge of previous Triangle – 83 sc. Rows 2-56: Work same as Rows 2-56 of Triangle I. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Sew edges of Triangle I and VI together. |
Step 5 |
FINISHING Border Rnd 1 (RS): From RS, join yarn with sl st at beginning of edge of any Triangle, ch 1, work 82 sc as evenly spaced as possible across edge of each Triangle, working 2 sc in each join between Triangles and 3 sc in each point; join with sl st in first sc. Rnd 2: Turn, working through front loops only, sl st in each st around. Fasten off. Weave in ends. |
