To begin working with the O'Go format, carefully cut plastic tie where the ends of the O'Go meet. Pull tie to remove and start crocheting.
When joining new O'Gos, try to join shade at same point in stripe repeat to keep continuity of the color repeat.
Extra yarn pulled out for matching stripes can be rejoined later when appropriate.
FULL SIZE BLANKET
Panel (make 9)
**Center Fan Section: Ch 4.
1st row: (RS). (2 dc. Ch 2. 3 dc) all in 4th ch from hook. Turn.
2nd row: Ch 3. (3 dc. Ch 2. 3 dc) in next ch-2 sp. 1 dc in top of turning ch 3. Turn.**
Rep last row until Center Fan Section measures 53" [134.5 cm], ending on a WS row. Turn and cont as follows:
PANEL EDGING
1st rnd: (RS). Ch 2 (does not count as hdc). Beg working around Center Fan Section - work (1 hdc in each of next 3 dc. 1 hdc in next ch-2 sp. 1 hdc in each of next 3 dc) across last row of Center Fan Section. Work 2 hdc in side of each dc or ch-3 sp. 1 hdc in corner of each 3-dc group to foundation ch. Work 1 hdc in foundation ch (point). Work 2 hdc in side of each dc or ch-3 sp and 1 hdc in corner of each 3-dc group to last row of Center Fan Section to end. Join with sl st to first hdc. PM on center 3 hdc at top and bottom of last rnd.
2nd rnd: Working in horizontal bars created at back of work between hdc of prev row (see diagram-this creates visible ridge on RS), 1 hdc in each hdc around, working 2 hdc in each of 3 marked hdc at each end of rnd. Turn. PM on center 3 hdc at top and bottom of last rnd.
(wrong side is shown)
3rd rnd: As 2nd rnd. Fasten off. PM on 8th st from center st at each side of Panel - rep on both ends. There are now 2 markers on sides at each end of Panel. This is where Panels will be joined.
JOINING PANELS
With RS of 2 Panels facing each other (taking care the direction of 'fans' in center section are consistent and matching markers), working through both thicknesses, join yarn with sl st in back loops only of hdc at markers. Sl st in back loops only of each hdc across to next markers (take care not to sl st tightly during joining). Fasten off. (SEE DIAGRAM 1)
TASSELS (make 18)
Wrap yarn around a piece of cardboard 5" wide 30 times. Tie through loops securely at one end. Cut across other end. Wrap yarn 4 times around Tassel 11/4' [3 cm] down from tied end. Fasten securely. Attach Tassels to both ends of each Panel. (SEE DIAGRAM 2)
