Get Your Yarn On!

This is a pattern I created myself.  The yarn is from  Hobby Lobby 

Yarn Bee Bamboo-tiful.  

I used 5 different colors . I skein of each color = 257 yards each. Lightweight #3 yarn weight. 

Hok size - 5.0mm/H-8 

this pattern is worked in rounds.

 This is a very soft, cool,  blanket. That's great for summer. 

 1st round

Stating with a magic circle chain one st into the circle, Chain two (counts as you first double crochet).  Next crochet 2 dc and Chain 2, 

next crochet *3 dc and chain 2* 

repeat from * to * 2 more times then Sl into the top of your first dc to complete the first round.  

You now have four sets of the 3 dc with 2 chains between each. 

Beige border after first round.  crochet a 3Dc Cl  in each chain space.  sl st to the top of the first Dc Cl. 

 2nd round 

 turn and crochet sc into the chain 2 space then chain 2 ( counts as your first dc). 2 dc in the same chain 2 space and chain 3 then 3 dc in the same chain 2 space then chain 2. 

*3dc, chain 3, 3dc in the next chain space, chain 2* repeat from * to * for the next 2 chain 2 spaces then Sl into the first dc to complete the round. 

Beige border after first round.  crochet a 3Dc Cl  in each chain space.  sl st to the top of the first Dc Cl. 

3rd round

Turn your work and chain one into the chain 2 space the chain 2?(counts as dc) 2 dc in the same chain 2 space, chain 2. 3dc ,chain 3, 3 dc in the next chain space an chain 2.  * 3dc in the next chain space and chain 2. 3 dc, chain 3, 3 dc in the next chain space then chain 2*. Repeat from * to * 2 more times then sl into the first dc to Compl rate the round. You now have 4 corners. Continue to do 3 dc and chain 2 for each chain space on the sides and 3 dc, chain 3, 3 dc , chain 2,  for each corner.   

 Depending on how tight your stitches are you should have a total of  15 rounds for the first color.  When you have completed your first  round , chose to do one round of beige in between each color block.  I used the 3dc cluster and chain 3 in each chain 2 space for the sides and for the corners I did, 3 dc cluster, chain 3, 3dc cluster and chain 3.   

 Rounds 4-7

Next you will begin a new round with a new color.  Follow the same pattern with the new color as you did for round 3. 

• Note the rounds will have fewer rows as you go with each skein color as the square gets larger around.  

So first color teal - 15 rounds

One round of beige dc clusters

Second color yellow ochre - 7 rounds

One round of beige dc clusters

Third color sage green - 5 rounds

One round of beige dc clusters

Fourth color coral -4 rounds

One round of beige dc clusters

Then I used the remaining beige yarn to make 4 tassels.  (optional)That I attached to each corner. 

And that’s it. Hope you enjoy the pattern .  Happy crocheting!!
