The color block blanket crochet pattern is a free 3-page PDF on US Letter paper that uses RED HEART Boutique Treasure yarn in two colorways, Spectrum A and Mosaic B. The pattern includes a 6.5mm (US K-10.5) crochet hook and a gauge where the center motif measures 15 inches across at its widest, with 13 stitches and 8 rows per 4 inches. Finished bust measurements range from 36 to 56 inches, offering sizes for different babies.
What the pattern includes
The pattern, named Hip Granny Tunic (LW2944) and designed by Tammy Hildebrand, provides instructions for a tunic-style blanket. The body is made from two pieces, front and back, each starting with a circular center motif. Corners are added to form a square, then side edging is attached, and side and shoulder seams are sewn. Sleeves are worked directly into the armhole openings.
Special stitches
Three special stitches are used: dc4tog, dc5tog, and dc6tog (double crochet 4, 5, or 6 stitches together), each described in full within the pattern.
