DIRECTIONS:
To find the downloadable patterns click on the "GET PATTERNS" tab above.NOTES:
Right side of project is facing at all times.
For Knit stitches "Working yarn" is held behind stitches.
When joining new color, cut base of first and last loops to create a "yarn tail" to tie colors together.
FRONT:
Count 63 loops of B for foundation row (noting yarn end is at far right and all loops are facing upwards).
1st row: With B, working from left to right, pull 64th loop (from 'working yarn') up through 63rd loop (last loop of foundation row) from behind to create a knit st. *Pull next loop from working yarn up through next loop of foundation row to create a knit st. Repeat from * to end of row. Do not turn.
2nd row: Working from right to left, with working yarn at back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last st worked on previous row to create a knit st. *With working yarn at back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through next st to create next knit st. Repeat from * to end of row. Do not turn.
3rd row: Working from left to right, with working yarn at back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last st worked on previous row to create a knit st. *With working yarn at back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through next st to create next knit st. Repeat from * to end of row. Do not turn.
Repeat 2nd and 3rd rows 3 times more. 9 rows total. Cut base of next loop to create a "yarn tail".
Cut base of first loop of A to create a "yarn tail" and join to B from previous row.
10th to 13th rows: As 2nd and 3rd rows twice.
Proceed as follows:
1st row: Working from right to left, with working yarn at back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last st worked on previous row to create a knit stitch. With A, work 11 knit sts more. Work next 39 knit sts of 1st row of Chart, noting color changes. With A, work last 12 knit sts. Do not turn.
2nd row: Working from left to right, with working yarn at back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last st worked on previous row to create a knit st. With A, work 11 knit sts more. Work next 39 knit sts of 2nd row of Chart, noting color changes. With A, work last 12 knit sts. Do not turn.
Repeat 1st and 2nd rows to end. Break C.
Proceed as follows:
1st row: Working from left to right, with working yarn at back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last st worked on previous row to create a knit st. *With working yarn at back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through next st to create next knit st. Repeat from * to end of row. Do not turn.
2nd row: Working from right to left, with working yarn at back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through last st worked on previous row to create a knit st. *With working yarn at back, pull next loop from working yarn up from behind through next st to create next knit st. Repeat from * to end of row. Do not turn.
Repeat 1st and 2nd rows once more. Cut base of next loop to create a "yarn tail".
Cut base of first loop of B to create a "yarn tail" and join to A from previous row.
Next 9 rows: As 1st and 2nd rows 4 times, then 1st row once.
Bind off row: Working in same direction as last row, pull 2nd st through first stitch. Pull 3rd st through 2nd st. Pull 4th st through 3rd st. Continue in this manner to end of row. Cut last loop to create yarn tail. Pull yarn tail through last loop. Tie to secure and weave in ends.
FRINGE:
Cut base of Contrast C loops to create a straight length of yarn of each color (will be cut to make fringe). Cut strands of yarn 16" [40.5 cm] long. Fold 2 contrast color strands in half and knot into fringe across both ends of Blanket alternating colors. Trim fringe evenly.
