Not only is there a comfort in the repetitive motion of creating stitches, but you’re left with a big, square of fabric that’s full of cosiness and warmth. There’s a LOT to love about a crochet blanket.TABLE OF CONTENTS1. Materials & Tools2. Size3. Notes4. Advanced Notes5. Terms & Abbreviations6. Mitered Crochet Blanket Pattern7. Border8. Blocking9. Pin For LaterVIEW MORE▼ I’m so thrilled to welcome Nazrien from Gypsy in Rhapsody to my blog today to share her blanket pattern, the I Mitered Pined For You Blanket. Created with the alpine stitch, (one of my most popular stitch library posts!) this beautiful crochet blanket mimics mitered wood to create a stunning graphic effect and dense, warm fabric. Ideal for keeping away chills! Nazrien says, “I discovered the alpine stitch on Instagram and crocheted a cowl for myself to test the stitch. I loved the texture, the staggering effect of the front post double crochet (fpdc) and double crochet (dc). With that in mind I began to imagine a blanket with the alpine stitch providing an optical illusion. Having a mitered center always gives a distorted effect and the idea of combining these two elements began to grow.“ As this is a guest post, Bella Coco Crochet is unable to answer any queries.

Materials & Tools Yarn: Worsted weight yarn like Caron Cakes or Paintbox Simply Aran Hook: 5mm Darning needle Scissors Size Tension is not critical for this project Finished size blanket measures approx. 35” x 35” Notes Pattern written in US terms This pattern is for medium to advanced crocheters. If you have a working knowledge of alpine stitch is, then this crochet blanket pattern will be straightforward. If you are new to the alpine stitch, I recommend creating a swatch to practice the stitch. You can find written and video instructions for that, here: Alpine Stitch The starting chain 1 of each row does not count as a stitch Advanced Notes The pattern increases with 3 stitches at the top or the “peak” of the crochet blanket. This is known as the PK stitch. Even rows will always be sc rows. You increase with 3 sc in only the peak of the rows-to know which is the peak, crochet 3 sc into the fpdc stitch (from the previous row) at the top of the square. Odd rows will always be the alpine stitch rows. You increase with the Pine Stitch or PS in only the peak of the rows. You can tell you are doing the stitches correctly when the total number of stitches is an odd number increased by 2. You start row 1 with 3 stitches. Row 2 ends with 5 stitches and so on. At the end of the row, you will have a note of how many dcs and fpdcs you have made with a total number of stitches at the end of the row. E.g. Row 3 has 6 dcs and 1 fpdc. When you look at your row, you should have that number of dcs and fpdc. This brings a total of 7 stitches. This type of stitch counting will help you as you progress. The rows that have 2 dc in the first two stitches (rows 7, 11, 15 and so on) have 2 dcs before the fpdc around the fpdc two rows below. If stated the following: dc, fpdc, dc, fpdc, crochet these stitches in the next 4 stitches. If it is (dc, fpdc) x 2, crochet the following twice with each stitch going in the next 4 stitches. I recommend using more than one color. Try the following: for 2 colors, change every 2 rows, for three or more, have each row a different color. In any case, to change colors, just drop the finished row color to the FRONT of your finished work row, then turn the work, so that the yarn is now BEHIND the work. Then pull up a loop with the new yarn. Terms & Abbreviations Chain(s): Ch(s): Yarn over and pull up a loop.
