CROCHET NOTES
This blanket is made by Linen Stitch block and a block made out of 3 rows of plain dc’s. These two blocks are separated with another type of dc’s rows. On the Linen Stitch block keep your tention a little looser than normal. This will help to keep the crochet flat and prevent an extra curl on the dc’s sections.

If you crochet tightly I recommend that you use a 3 /3.25 mm crochet hook for a soft drape.

Work your colour stripes following the colour sequence given for the blanket.

Happy hooking,
Mo
