When I open my yarn cupboard
(where I HOARD way too much yarn)…there’s a common colour.
(where I HOARD way too much yarn)…there’s a common colour.
GREY over everything.
Including tons of neutrals!
I have so many half/quarter skeins of grey yarn…and I had
the idea of making a cozy grey blanket for a while.
I finally grabbed my Yarn Winder (best ever!) and collected
all my tangled grey skeins.
I used an easy stitch that can be done at any level (even
beginners!)
This blanket can be adjusted for size very easily.
Grab all that grey yarn and let’s do this!
Quick Notes before you
begin:
-since you will be using multiple skeins of different yarn,
make sure they are all the same weight (this one uses Super Bulky yarn, size
5/6)
-The key to making any size you want: your foundation chain
needs to be in multiples of 6 + ch 2 (eg: Ch 30, ch 2, turn)
-the size I made is more of larger baby blanket/lap blanket
-the size I made is more of larger baby blanket/lap blanket
-I changed colours frequently, feel free to use one colour
or as many as you want!
-Row 1 and 2 will show you exactly how to do the Shell
Stitch (the pattern will just repeat those 2 rows throughout)
-When a row starts with a SC, it will end with a SC
-When a row starts with a half shell (3DC), it will end with
a half shell
OTH Crochet Nook Pattern: Shades of Grey Blanket

Repeat from *, your row will end with a SC, ch 2, turn
Row 2: (the ch 2 you just did COUNTS as 1 DC), 2DC in the very
first stitch, *skip 2, SC in center of first shell from previous row, skip 2,
5DC in the single crochet from previous row, now Repeat from *, your row will
end with 3DC in the single crochet from the previous row.

Row 3 – 42: Repeat Row 1 and 2
SL ST twice and fasten off

-from here you can SC around to add a border if you want, make sure each corner stitch has 3SC
-Colour changes: I did 3 rows of lighter greys, then 10 rows
of dark grey – repeated that 3 times, and ended with 3 rows of light grey
