Textured Ombre Crochet Blanket
Textured Ombre Crochet Blanket
"This Textured Ombre Crochet Blanket will be a beautiful addition to the decor at the farmhouse. If you can double crochet, you can create this lovely afghan. Are you looking for the perfect crochet blanket pattern? This is one of those relaxing patterns that is easy to crochet with gorgeous results. The colors of this ombre yarn are long. Therefore, this yarn lends itself to crocheting a large blanket like this one. I just love the hues of changing colors without the hassle of having to weave in tons of yarn ends. This was a very nice yarn to work with. This crochet pattern uses double crochet to achieve this beautiful textured look. Repeat rows 2-16 throughout. However, due to the turning at the end of each row, some of the row directions are slightly different. That way, the texture will stay on the correct side of the afghan."
NotesThis crochet pattern includes video tutorials to help with understanding the stitches.

Border
-
Round 1: Continuing in the corner 3 SC. Then continue up the first side. Complete 2 SC in each CH 3 SP or DC SP. For each corner, complete 3 SC. For the ends, complete a SC in each ST. After you have completed a SC for each side, join with a SL ST to the first SC.
-
Round 2: CH 3, 3 DC in corner ST. DC in each SC around making sure to do 3 DC in each corner. SL ST into the top CH of initial CH 3.
-
Round 3: 1 Slip stitch in the next ST so you can complete 3 DC in the corner ST. Then complete FPDC and BPDC alternating between the two with 3 DC in each corner. End with the last FPDC or BPDC and SL ST into the top of the first DC.
-
Weave in yarn ends and cut of the excess yarn.
