Remember this post? Well, I've finally finished the blanket, it only took me over a year! It's super easy to make, and if you like a mindless stitch that you can do in front of the TV, this one is perfect. Take a look at the final product...Free pattern below!

Required Crochet Stitches: chain (ch), single crochet (sc) Note: All terms are U.S.
Main Blanket: You can make this any size you like, all you need to do is chain an even number of stitches to start. For my blanket I wanted something fairly large, so I started off with:
ch 164,
Foundation Row - Sc into the 4th ch from hook. *Ch 1, skip next ch, sc into next ch*. Repeat pattern across and turn.
Row 1 - ch 2, (counts as first sc, ch 1). Skip first sc, *1 sc in next ch 1 space, ch 1, skip next sc*. Repeat pattern across, ending with 1 sc in last ch 1 space of turning ch, turn.
Row 3 and beyond - Repeat row 1. I used 3 colors for my blanket and changed whenever I felt like it, no rhyme or reason. I just sort of went with what looked good to me.

Measurement - approx. 46" x 72", using worsted weight yarn.
Border - I did a simple sc border evenly around.
