In the center space of the next вЂњwheel,вЂќ dc 7. Remember to keep your stitches loose! With same color, ch3 and dc 3 in first stitch sc in the sc below: Yo and draw through to finish the st (making a вЂњclutsterвЂќ of 7). Ch 3, in next 7 sts dc but do not finish stitches, as in the beginning. WeвЂ™ll call this a вЂњclusterвЂќ of 4:Д¬h 3, sc in top/middle stitch of the bottom shell. When you have 4 loops on your hook and it looks like this, yo and draw through. In the next 3 sts, make a dc but do not pull the last loop through any of them yet: Remember to keep your stitches loose! With new color, ch 2: Continue this shell pattern to end, leaving the last sc unfinished so as to change colors: row 9 YOU CAN DO THIS BY GOING UP A HOOK SIZE FOR THIS BIT IF YOU PREFER. DO THESE 4 ROWS LOOSELY OR YOUR BLANKET WILL HAVE UNEVEN EDGES. This will be the Catharine wheel pattern. With new color, dc in each st across row 7

row 5ДonвЂ™t leave your ends unwoven til the very end, or youвЂ™ll never want to do them! I suggest doing them after about every 6 вЂ“ 8 rows.

You can work over your tails for rows like this so that you donвЂ™t have to sew them in later: The turning chains count as your first stitch of the row (and will for all rows to come unless otherwise specified). This is how we will finish every row where we change colors: To finish the row, pull your next color through to finish the stitch. Make hdcs all the way across, but donвЂ™t pull the final loop through the last stitch! Stop at this point: In the 3rd chain from your hook, make 1 hdc:

So for example, since I chained 192 + the 2 turning chains that count as 1 stitch, I will have 193 stitches in all of my rows.

With my DK weight yarn and my H/8/5mm, I chained 194 total to make my throw about 50вЂі/127cm wide, but you make yours however long you want to! As long as itвЂ™s a multiple of 24 plus 2 youвЂ™re fine! Double, no, TRIPLE check you have the right number so you donвЂ™t have to start over later! Edit: I should also say that because the 2 turning chains count as your first hdc, you should have an odd number of stitches for every row in your blanket (you will have a multiple of 24 + 1 stitches). Then chain 2 more for our turning chains. Hook size H/8 (5.00 mm), or whatever hook suits your specific yarn.Д«egin by chaining any multiple of 24 (i.e. You can use any colors or indeed any kind of yarn that you would like!
