Clue #13 - It's a wrap!
We have finally reached the last clue of our mystery Crochet-Along – and once you have completed the last two rounds you will have a beautiful blanket and the mystery will have been solved! Thank you for joining us again this year, for sharing your comments and showing us your progress along the way. We are already looking forward to the next DROPS-Along!

Colours
We are using the following colours in the last two rounds:
ROUND 1: 05 light wash
ROUND 2: 06 light jeans blue
The last lap!
ROUND 1:
Work 1 slip stitch in each of the next 2 treble crochets, 1 slip stitch around the chain-space, 3 chain stitches, read CROCHET INFO below, 2 treble crochets around the chain-space, 3 chain stitches (corner), 3 treble crochets around the same chain-space.
CROCHET INFO:
The first treble crochet at the beginning of the round is replaced by 3 chain stitches. The round finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch.
Now work along the whole of the long-side as follows: 2 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches, work 1 treble crochet in the next stitch, but adjust so that there are 62 chain-spaces along the long-side and that the side finishes with 2 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches.
CORNER:
Work 3 treble crochets around the chain-space, 3 chain stitches, 3 treble crochets around the same chain-space.
Work the first short-side in the same way as the first long-side, but adjust so that there are 48 chain-spaces along the short-side and that it finishes with 2 chain stitches, skip 2 stitches. Then work the corners, the next long-side and short-side as described above.
Finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round, read CROCHET INFO above, do not cut the strand.
ROUND 2:
Work 1 slip stitch in each of the next 2 treble crochets, 1 slip stitch around the next chain-space, at the same time as you change to light jeans blue, read COLOUR CHANGE TIP below, cut the light wash strand. Work 3 chain stitches, 2 treble crochets around the chain-space, 3 chain stitches (corner), 3 treble crochets around the same chain-space.
COLOUR CHANGE TIP:
To get a neat transition when changing colours, work the last stitch before the colour change with the new colour.
Skip 2 stitches and work 1 double crochet in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches and work in the next stitch as follows: * 3 treble crochets, 1 chain stitch and 3 treble crochets, skip 2 stitches, 1 double crochet in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches *, repeat *-* for the whole side so that there are 31 fans along the long-side.
CORNER:
Work 3 treble crochets in the chain-space, 3 chain stitches, 3 treble crochets in the same chain-space.
Work the first short-side in the same way as the first long-side so that there are 24 fans along the short-side.
Then work the corners, the next long-side and short-side as described above.
Finish the round with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round. Cut and fasten all the strands.
Finished!
Our finished blanket should now measure approx. 115 x 90 cm.
We hope that you have enjoyed making this blanket as much as we have! And don’t forget to send pictures of your results!

Quería daros las gracias por hacerme este confinamiento debido al covid 19 más llevadero. Tenía un poquito olvidada mi manta y ha sido un refugio para mi mente tras los duros dias que hemos pasado. Es tan bonita como imaginé. Mil gracias por mantener la info en internet.
