This unusual crochet blanket is perfect whether you’re looking for a striking contrast or a subtle colour change – you’re sure to find a combination you love.

Size is fully adjustable to make everything from pram blanket to Queen sized bedspread in a wide variety of yarn choices.

YOU WILL NEED 400 m DK yarn in colour A, 400 m DK yarn in Colour B, 3.50 mm hook and a needle for neatening ends.

GAUGE: One crescent moon repeat (6sts) and 6 rows to 5 cm (2”) when worked in DK yarn.

Other yarns will work but will, of course, produce a different gauge. You should aim for a lightly draping fabric that is not too stiff or loose.

Quantities are based on a pram blanket size 50 x 62.5 cm (20 x 25”) excluding border and after blocking. Instructions are provided for adjusting the repeat to change width and length.

In the sample, Colour A is Patons Smoothie Double Knit in Grey (01088). Colour B is The Women’s Institute Soft and Cuddly DK in Lemon (704.70403).

Pattern is written in UK terms with a table of US equivalents provided for reference, as applicable.

Pattern is fully tested.
