Good Day Ladies! I wish you all are having a good time. Our today’s pattern is a crochet colorful blanket. This blanket is so colorful and eye-catchy. This design allows you to make variations as well as play with a different color. We are using 3.0 mm hook size to crochet colorful blanket because we need to crochet tighter stitches. Tight stitches enhance flower’s look by providing thick texture and also stiffness.

Using color 1, start with ch5, sl st to form a ring.
- Round 1: Ch3 (will act as 1st dc), 15dc into the ring, sl st on top of starting ch3. (16dc)
- Round 2: Change to color 2, Ch1, (1sc in next st) x 15, sl st into starting ch1. (16sc)
- Round 3: Using grey colored yarn, (Ch3, skip next 1 st, 1sc in next st) x 7, ch3, sl st into the point from where starting ch3 is originating (8 ch3-archs)
- Round 4: Ch1, sl st into subsequent ch3 sp, ch3, (2dc-cl, ch5, 3dc-cl) into same ch3 sp, {ch5, (3dc-cl, ch5, 3dc-cl) into next ch3 sp}. Repeat pattern in {} 6 more times, ch5, sl st on top of starting ch3. (16 3dc-cl)
- Round 5: Ch1, sl st into subsequent ch5 sp, ch3, (2dc-cl, ch7, 3dc-cl) into same ch5 sp, ch2, 1sc into next ch5 sp, {(ch5, 1sc into next ch5 sp) x 2, ch2, (3dc-cl, ch7, 3dc-cl) into next ch5 sp, ch2, 1sc into next ch5 sp}. Repeat pattern in {} 2 more times, (ch5, 1sc into next ch5 sp) x 2, ch2, sl st on top of starting ch3, Fasten off.
