V-Stitch Pattern.

Materials: Pink – Super-Size skein, Bernat Baby Sport yarn; skein Variegated Baby yarn; #G or 6/4¼ Susan Bates aluminum crochet hook; Scissors, Tapestry Needle

Terms:

ch = chain

cc = single crochet

dc = double crochet

rpt = repeat

ea = each

MC = main color

CC = contrast color

EO = end off

With MC, make a ch of 149 ct; sc ea st across row. Ch 1 - T.

Row 1: Dc in 5^th ch from hook, skip next 4 ch, *(dc-ch 1-dc) in each of next 2 ch, skip next 4 ch; rpt from * across row – end with (dc-ch 1-dc) in last ch, and turn.

Row 2: Ch 4 (counts as a dc + ch 1), dc in next ch-1 space, skip next ch-1 space, *(dc-ch 1- dc) I each of next 2 dc, skip next 2 ch-1 spaces; rpt from * across to turning ch (dc-ch 1-dc) in 3^rd ch of turning ch, turn.

Repeat Row 2 for pattern to a length of 29”.

Then sc 98 sts evenly across the uneven top edge so piece will measure 28” wide; ch 1, turn and work another row of sc across top edge + 1 extra sc in the corner.

Sc an edge around entire baby blanket.

Work 114 sc evenly along side + 1 extra sc in corner … 98 sts evenly across bottom edge (it will look bunchy, but make sure you have 98 sts spaced evenly) + 1 extra sc in corner… and 114 sc up the other side edge, + 1 extra sc in the corner. EO MC.

You are now ready to add the trim.
