Blanket/Body
Start with pink yarn
H Hook
You will connect rows on this section.
You will need to ch 1 extra at the start of the magic circle to make room for
the first dc.
R1: (3
dc, 2 ch) four times in magic circle, join at the top of first dc with a sl
st.
Pull
hole closed. *The dc’s are the sides of
the square, the ch’s are the corners.
R2:
Ch 2, turn, dc in the same stitch the chain is in. 5 dc into the corner (the
corner being space made by the 2 ch on the previous row). Dc around doing 5 dc
in each corner. Join with a sl st in the first dc of the round.
Note: Skip over the original ch 2 and
put the sl stitch directly in the first dc to avoid a seam!
R3: Ch 2, turn, dc in each st across. At
each corner do 5 dc in the 3rd st of the previous row’s 5 dc. R4-9: Repear R3
Join tan yarn at sl st
R10-11: Repeat Row 3 Join red yarn at sl st
R12: Ch
1, Sc in Back Loops Only (BLO) of each dc across. At corners do 2 sc, ch 2, 2
sc in 3rd st of the previous rows 5 dc. Sl st in first sc of the
round.
Note: The rainbow part is supposed to be
wavy so after you do the foundation row of sc the next row pattern will be sl
st, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc. For optimal waves you want to alternate. AKA try to
get the sl st right above the dc from the previous color’s wave row and the dc
above where the sl st was. It’s okay if it’s off at times. The corners can be
tricky because they will pop up right in the middle of the wave pattern. There
are several ways to deal with this so pick the one you are comfortable with and
stick with it. The key is to be consistent and aim for symmetry. 1. Regardless of where you are in the wave
pattern hdc 3 before and 3 after the corner. Start new wave after. (This is
what I did and it worked well)
2. Pause the wave, do the corner, resume
where you were in the wave.
3. Sl st 2 before and 2
after the corner.
4. Ditch the wave pattern
altogether by doing two rows of hdc in each color all the way around.
Still with red yarn
R13: Ch
1, in both loops (sl st, sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc) around. 2 hdc, ch 2, 2 hdc in
