Notes

Each square on the graph counts as one block. One block consists of one 3 Ch and 3 Dc.

You will be turning after every row.

Be sure to note whether the row is an increase or decrease row. This will be indicated in the written pattern.

Color A: Silver Heather (main color); Color B: Black (secondary color).

Instructions

Trim

With Color A, work single crochet stitches evenly around the blanket. You will be making 3 single crochets into the same stitch at all 4 corners (to keep the corners from curling).

You will be working approximately 3 singles per block around the blanket. When you reach the bottom left side at rows 66-83, switch to Color B. Switch back to Color A for the remainder of the edging.

Slip stitch into the first single crochet stitch to join.

Tie off and weave in all ends.
