Free Crochet Blanket Pattern: Waffle Me This

Materials:

• 4mm hook

• ch/s – chain/s
• tr – treble
• dc – double crochet

Design notes:

• To vary the size the starting chain needs to be a multiple of 3 plus 2 stitches.
• Turning ch does not count as a stitch, work first tr of each row in base of turning chain.
• A dishcloth is a great way to test out the pattern.

Pattern:

Row 1: Ch 137 skip first 2 sts and make a tr in every st. Ch2 turn.(135 tr)

Row 2: Make a tr in the 1st st. Make a fptr around the 2nd tr of previous row  ( 1 tr into next 2 st, make a fptr around the next tr of previous row ) repeat until last st, tr. Ch2 turn.

Row 3: Tr in first two sts ( fptr in next 2 sts, 1tr) repeat until last st, tr. Ch2 turn.

Row 4: Tr in first st, fptr in second st (tr in next 2 sts, 1 fptr) repeat until last st, tr

Repeat rows 3 & 4 until length desired. Ending with Row 4. Do not cut yarn. Turn blanket 45 degrees and begin border.

• Working sides: dc in the end of each row
