INSTRUCTIONS

Notes:

• Blanket is worked in Tunisian crochet. Each row consists of a pick-up portion where loops remain on hook and a return portion where loops are worked off.

• Right side is facing throughout.

• Blanket is worked in 8 segments.

The first segment is worked independently in its entirety.

The 2nd through 7th segments are worked joining the left edge of the new segment to the right edge of the previous segment as you work the final st in the forward pass of each row.

• The final segment is worked joining the right edge to the left edge of Segment 1 at the conclusion of the return pass and the left edge to the right edge of Segment 7 as you work the final st in the forward pass.

• Edging is worked in traditional crochet around piece after all pieces have been joined. The stitch works a dtr followed by a sc. The sc will force the dtr to crunch up to appear as a little bobble. If needed, push the crunched dtr to the right side.
