Fall Harvest Blanket Square – A Free Pattern

Notes:
 

  • Total square should be 8” across; if slightly off you can block square.
  • You can carry yarn up side as your work progresses and use the border to cover the yarn that you carried. Saves on extra ends to tie in.  
  • Color order doesn’t matter, but I used Mustard CC1, Pumpkin CC2, & Kale MC. 


Special Stitches:

  • Changing color in last yo – work st until last yo, yo with new color and pull through 2 loops on hook.  
  • Hdc in 3rd loop – work specified st in 3rd loop of hdc (which, for this pattern, will be the horizontal bar in front of the post of hdc. For a video tutorial, please see How to Hdc 3rd Loop.
