You can find the free crochet blanket pattern in this post below, or an ad-free print friendly version on Love Crafts here, Ravelry here, and Etsy here. It too can be customized to be any size imaginable. I’m not normally an afghan project kinda gal, but as I was crocheting away on the rectangular afghan, while binge watching Grey’s Anatomy, I was hooked and knew I had to come up with a few other designs like it! This square version is similar to the rectangular afghan, but it’s um…. Panel # 11 (End): This panel is different! Row 115 – 123: Repeat Rows 7 – 15.The On the Bias Square Afghan is the sister crochet blanket pattern to the On the Bias Rectangular Afghan. To make a longer blanket, continue to repeat Rows 7 – 18 in your desired colors, until satisfied with the length. Panel #3 – 10: Repeat Rows 7 – 18 while following the color chart above.
Here is a video tutorial for this technique, if you need more of a visual. Make sure to carry your yarn through as you crochet, so that you can easily make these colour changes (shown in Picture 6). Now work the next set of single crochets with Colour D (Picture 6). When there are two loops remaining on your hook, drop your new colour, and pull Colour D through the 2 loops on your hook to close the puff stitch (Picture 4 & 5). With your new colour (green), work a puff stitch in the next stitch (Picture 3). ( 27 PS + 109 sc) Begin working your first set of single crochets in Colour D (white) and change colour before you finish your last single crochet (Picture 1 & 2). Row 8: (Remember to change colors for the puff stitch, see notes below) Ch 1, sc in first 3 sts, 26 times PS in next st, sc in last 2 sts. Row 4: Ch 2, hdc in first st, until 1 st remains hdc in last st of row. Odd numbered rows are considered the RS, while even numbered rows are considered the WS.Ĭh 138 (or a multiple of 10 + 8) Panel #1: Row 1 (RS): Hdc in third ch from hook, and in each ch across.There is a video tutorial for Row 8 here. When crocheting row 8, make sure to carry the yarn through the row, to create seamless colour changes.
There is a tutorial for changing colour above. All of the sc sts are worked with Colour D and all of the PS sts are worked in the panel colour (Colour A, B, or C). In Row 8, you will be working with two colours.
Please watch the video for how to do this stitch, before starting these rows! The crossed half double crochets in Rows 4 – 5 are worked differently than what you might be used to.The beginning chain of each row does NOT count as a stitch.If you’d like a refresher on changing colour, there is a photo tutorial above to help you!.A colour chart is provided above to show when to change colour throughout the blanket.
Work the last stitch of each row in the beginning chain of the previous row, to create a straighter edge.
