Pattern

Foundation

1. Chain ANY EVEN NUMBER for width (suggested: ch 66 for lap blanket).
   • Make sure chains are not too tight—work loosely for straight edges.

Row 1

1. Hdc in 4th ch from hook.
2. (Ch 1, hdc) in same ch as previous hdc — this creates the first v-stitch.
3. Skip 1 ch, (hdc, ch 1, hdc) in next ch.
4. Repeat step 3 across to last two ch.
5. In last ch: hdc (this forms the side edge).

Row 2 (and all subsequent rows)

1. Ch 2, turn (this counts as your first hdc for the edge).
2. Into each ch-1 space from previous row’s v-stitch:
   • (hdc, ch 1, hdc) in ch-1 space
     Save
3. Repeat across row.
4. Hdc in top of previous row’s turning ch or edge hdc to finish row.

Rows 3 and Up

• Repeat Row 2 until your blanket reaches desired length.
  Save

Finishing

1. Fasten off at end of last row.
2. Pull tail through last loop; snug tight.
3. Weave in ends: Use a tapestry needle or crochet hook. For extra security, use fray check on ends.
4. Block if desired (not necessary with most chunky chenille).

Pattern Correction & Tips

• Correction: The v-stitch is worked into the ch-1 space of previous v-stitches, not into the hdc itself.
• Tip: When joining yarn, use a magic knot (fisherman’s knot) so tails can be snipped very close without coming undone.
• Tip: Make your foundation chain loosely; if it bends severely, redo with a looser tension or larger hook.
• Tip: Maintain even tension throughout—pinch yarn for control rather than threading fingers; this is helpful with chenille yarn.
• Tip: Stabilize your yarn skein to avoid tangling; a paper towel holder works well.
• Tip: After the first few rows, the blanket will straighten out even if the foundation chains bend slightly.
• Tip: Always check tension; keep stitches snug but not tight to prevent gaps and uneven edges.
