The Leaping Stripes and Blocks Blanket was a lot of fun for me to crochet (even making two in a row) and I hope you enjoy it just as much! And if do, let me know - I love to read your comments! The Fine Print You can do the same if you like this look, or do something fancier if desired!Įasy enough, eh? I hope you find the size you need here - if there's a blanket width you're looking for that's not here just let me know and I'll add it to the chart. I did a simple border of two rows of sc, working 3 sc in each corner. *Working over the chains and into the top of the sts from two rows previous, dc in each of the next two sts.
Last Row (even # row): Ch 1, sc in the 1st 3 sts. Then go to the last row instructions below. Repeat Rows 3 and 4, switching colors every 2 rows, through the next to last row indicated in the Sizes chart above (ending on a Row 3 repeat). Drop last color (cut if using more than 3 colors). Sc in the last st, finishing the st with the next color. Repeat from * across, ending last repeat at ** with last st remaining. *Working over the chains and into the top of the sts from two rows previous, dc in each of the next two sts.** Ch 2, skip the next 2 sts. Drop first color (cut if using more than 3 colors). Sc in the last st (top of ch 3), finishing the st with second color. (The chains from Row 1 are enclosed within these dc sts.) Ch 2, skip the next 2 sts. *Working over the chains and into the unworked foundation chains below, dc in each of the next two foundation chs. Repeat from * until last ch remains, dc in the last ch. Dc in the 4th ch from hook, then dc in the next ch. Row 1: With first color ch to length desired (see list above).

With this number, I was able to carry the colors up along one side of the blanket and cover them with the border. I've included a photo tutorial that starts with a chain of just 18 - but it's enough to show how the stitch pattern comes together. If you like the pattern but want it bigger, I've included sizing information for making a standard baby blanket, afghan, and queen size blanket as well! So be sure to check the sizing info for the specifics, and then follow the generalized instructions below. This is also the perfect size for adding an amigurumi head to make a sweet crochet lovie!
The Leaping Stripes and Blocks Blankets that I made up are preemie sized, to fit our new arrivals - about 20" x 20". One row just leaps over the other - and I love the way it looks! The Leaping Stripes and Blocks Blanket features soft cotton and a beautiful overlapping blocks pattern! The colors seem to move up and down the blanket in a fun zigzag pattern, and the overlapping boxes create a yummy rhythmic pattern to crochet.
