Special Notes

• Foundation Row: Uses foundation half double crochet (can substitute ch + hdc in each ch).
• Arrow Stitch: Worked as a modified treble crochet picking up missed stitches and chaining, creating a slanted, textured post.
• Fringe: Optional; place with spacing as desired, use longer strands for flexibility.

Pattern Instructions

Foundation Row

• Work 79 foundation half double crochet (Fhdc) stitches.
  • To adjust width, use (multiple of 4) + 3 for your starting stitch count.
  • If unfamiliar with Fhdc, substitute: ch desired number, hdc in 3rd ch from hook and across.

Yarn over twice, insert hook into next chain-1 space’s unworked stitch, pull up a loop.
Yarn over, pull through 2 (twice).
Then yarn over, pull through the remaining 3 loops.
(First and last Arrow Stitches function as “half arrows”, made similar to a treble crochet.)

• Ch 1, turn.

  Save
• Insert hook into blanket edge at desired spot, pull fringe loop through, pass fringe ends through loop, tighten gently.
• Space fringe sets as desired (e.g., leave 2 stitches between fringes).
• Trim fringe to desired length.

Conclusion

The Arrow Stitch Blanket provides a bold texture and graphic appeal, with easy-to-follow repeats and flexible sizing. Fringe is a stylish touch, but the pattern is finished enough for a clean edge if omitted.

Pattern Correction

• Arrow Stitch rows and Double Crochet rows must be alternated. Always end main pattern with an Arrow Row.
• For foundation, stitch count is (multiple of 4) + 3.
• Arrow stitch involves working into unworked stitches from two rows below, not into the row directly below.

Tips

• Foundation: Use the foundation half double crochet for a neat, flexible edge; substitute if desired.
• Arrow Stitch Placement: Always locate chain-1 spaces and associated unworked stitches in previous rows carefully for precise arrows.
• Customization: Adjust length and width by changing repeats and starting row counts.
• Fringe: Make strands longer than you anticipate needing; it’s easy to trim, but less easy to add.
