This project combines popular Tunisian crochet stitches, Tunisian purl and knit stitch, in a slightly unusual combination as they are crocheted diagonally from corner to corner rather than in the most common way in straight rows. Together, they create a striking texture while giving the final project a very warm and cosy feel. The blanket is sized for toddler/small child; however it can be easily adjusted for smaller/bigger sizes by either using lighter/heavier weight yarn or reducing/adding stitch pattern row repeats.
The blanket is crocheted flat with RS always facing.
It is crocheted in diagonal fashion starting at the bottom left edge with 2 increase stitches every row to the middle section and 2 decrease stitches to upper right corner.
The number of loops on the hook on decrease rows refers to the resulting stitch count at the end of the forward pass.
This colorful super bulky yarn blanket is made using the teardrop stitch. This striped blanket using a combination of 6 different colors of Bernat Blanket Yarn. You can use as many or few colors in your blanket. This is an easy one row repeat. There is a free PDF file available.
