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!
