Deep Reflection Blanket: Free Crochet Pattern

Pattern Notes

  • This blanket is worked flat in rows from one end to the other. A border is added in joined rounds after the main body is complete.
  • Tapestry Crochet: For sections worked in the tapestry method (using the color charts), you will carry both colors of yarn together throughout each row. Crochet over the color that is not currently in use. To change colors, complete the last yarn over of the stitch before the color change with the new color.
  • Working with Charts: When following the color charts, read all odd-numbered (Right Side) rows from right to left, and all even-numbered (Wrong Side) rows from left to right.
  • The beginning ch-3 counts as a double crochet stitch, and the beginning ch-2 counts as a half-double crochet stitch unless otherwise noted.
