Materials You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make this 52” x 48” blanket:

• Yarn: 9 balls of Premier Serenity Chunky Tweeds in #900-17 Cream with Natural Flecks (each ball is 3.5oz/100g, 109yds)
• Hook: US Size L/11 (8 mm) crochet hook (or size to match gauge)
• Extras: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Abbreviations & Stitches

Don’t let the abbreviations scare you! Here’s a quick guide:

• ch = chain
• dc = double crochet
• dec = decrease
• sk = skip
• sp = space
• st(s) = stitch(es)
• tog = together

Special Stitch:

• Dc2tog dec (Double Crochet 2 Together Decrease):
  • Yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops.
  • Skip the next 3 stitches.
  • Yarn over, insert hook into the following stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through 2 loops.
  • Yarn over, pull through all 3 loops on the hook.

Gauge & Sizing

Before starting, check your gauge to ensure your blanket turns out the right size:

• 10 dc x 4 rows = 4” in the Eyelet Chevron Stitch.

If your stitches are too tight, try a larger hook. Too loose? Go down a size.

Finished Size: 52” long x 48” wide (but you can easily adjust by adding or subtracting chains in multiples of 16 + 5)

Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions

1. Foundation Chain

Start by chaining 165. This will give you the full 48” width.

2. Eyelet Chevron Stitch Pattern

Row 1:

• Double crochet (dc) in the 5th chain from the hook (the first 4 chains count as a dc + ch 1).
• Repeat across:
  • *(Ch 1, skip next chain, dc in next chain) twice.
  • Ch 1, skip next chain, dc2tog dec over the next 5 stitches.
  • (Ch 1, skip next chain, dc in next chain) 3 times**.
  • Ch 3, dc in same stitch.
  • Repeat from * across, ending last repeat at **.
  • Ch 1, dc in same chain. Turn.

Row 2:

• Ch 3, dc in same stitch.
• Dc in next ch-1 space.
• Repeat across:
  • *(Dc in next dc, dc in next ch-1 space) twice.
  • Dc2tog dec over next 5 stitches.
  • (Dc in next ch-1 space, dc in next dc) twice**.
  • (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc) in next ch-3 space.
  • Repeat from * across, ending last repeat at **.
  • Dc in next ch-1 space, 3 dc in 3rd chain of turning chain. Turn.

Row 3:

• Ch 4 (counts as dc + ch 1).

• Ch 1, skip next dc.
• Repeat across:

  • Ch 1, (dc in next dc, ch 1, skip next dc) twice.
  • Repeat from * across, ending last repeat at **.
  • Ch 1, skip next dc, (dc, ch 1, dc) in top of turning chain. Turn.

Repeat Rows 2-3 until your blanket reaches 52” long (or your desired length)

3. Finishing

Tips for Beginners

• Counting is Key: Use stitch markers to keep track of your repeats.
• Go Slow with Dc2tog: This stitch might feel tricky at first, but practice makes perfect!
• Blocking Helps: If your edges curl, lightly steam-block the blanket for a polished look
