  Save

Row 1

1. Working in second ch from hook:
   (Sc, dc) in same ch.
2. Sk 1 ch, (sc, dc) in next ch;
   Rep from * to * across until 2 ch remain.
3. In last ch: sc only.
4. Ch 1, turn.

Row 2 (Pattern Row – Repeat Row)

1. In first sc (the one just made):
   (Sc, dc) in same st.
2. Sk next st (which is the dc), (sc, dc) in next sc;
   Rep from * to * across.
3. Finish with sc in last st.
4. Ch 1, turn.
   Save

Continue Row 2

• Repeat Row 2 for the entire blanket until you reach your desired length.

To Change Colors (Optional):

• On the last sc of any row, insert hook, YO, pull up a loop (2 loops on hook). Drop old color, yarn over with new color and pull through both loops. Continue with new color.
  Save

Finishing

1. At the end of your last row, ch 1, cut yarn, and pull through to fasten off.
2. Use a tapestry/yarn needle or finishing needle to weave in all ends neatly.
3. (Optional) Dab Fray Check on cut yarn ends to prevent fraying.
   Save

Pattern Correction

• Row 1: Only sc in the last remaining chain.
• One Row Repeat: Always (sc, dc) in every sc, skipping the dc.
• If you prefer the original Blanket Stitch: Start with a chain in a multiple of 3, and work (sc, 2 dc) instead of (sc, dc) in each indicated stitch.

Tips

• Count Stitches: Only work (sc, dc) into single crochets of the previous row—not into the double crochets.
• Joining Yarn: Use the “magic knot”/fisherman’s knot for strong, secure joins.
• For striped effects, change color at the end of any row using the seamless method described.
• For a more open/drapey fabric, go up one more hook size.
• If working with super bulky yarn, looser tension improves drape and softness.

Conclusion

The Susette Stitch blanket combines ease, speed, and texture for a satisfying and practical crochet project. Its simple one-row repeat makes it perfect for beginners or relaxing auto-pilot crocheting. Feel free to adjust the blanket’s width or length, and experiment with color stripes for custom looks.
