Lullaby Lodge Designs Crochet Patterns & Tutorials
Hello friends. I recently noticed that the yarn I used for this crochet baby blanket, had been discontinued. So, I thought it was time that this pattern had an update. I made the blanket again with new yarn and also added more sizes and other helpful information too. You can find the new version here...
Thanks for reading and I will be back very soon with more crochet to share with you...

About the yarn: Stylecraft Savanna is a super soft, self-striping, aran weight yarn. It is 100% cotton and each 100g ball is approx. 165m (180yds). Any aran weight yarn may be used for this pattern. You can even experiment with different yarn weights if you wish, just use the needle size recommended on the yarn ball band. Scarf shown is knitted in colourway Canyon.
Other
notes: The size of your scarf may be easily adjusted. When working increases and decreases you may
not always be able to do them exactly in the centre, do not worry this is ok,
if there are 2 stitches in the centre just pick one. If you are working from just one ball of
yarn, it may be wise to weigh your project after finishing the increases. This way you know exactly how much yarn you
need to save for the decreases.

About the yarn: King Cole Stormy is a 100% acrylic, super chunky yarn. One 100g ball is approx. 81m (88 yards) and recommends a 10mm hook. When making substitutions, be sure to choose a yarn of a similar gauge.
Sizing: May be
easily adjusted for any size, yarn quantities must be adjusted accordingly.
Special Stitches: herringbone double crochet – yo, insert hook
into stitch and pull up a loop, pull 1st loop through 2nd
loop on hook, yo and pull through 1st loop, yo and pull through
remaining 2 loops.
Other notes: Foundation
row is worked into back bumps of the starting chain, it is recommended to use a
larger hook for the starting chain (or chain very loosely) and then switch to
recommended hook size. Ch2 turning chain
counts as hbdc throughout, make sure to work into the top of ch2 at end of each
row as this can be easily missed.
Top Tip: Make your
tassels first to make sure you have enough yarn.
Start Crocheting Here...
Ch 93 or number of chains needed for desired width.
Foundation row hbdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across, turn. (90 hbdc)
Row 1 ch2, hbdc in next and each st across, turn.
Repeat row 1 until piece measures 125cm or desired length, fasten off.
Border
With right side facing. Join yarn with sc in top right corner, sc in each st to next corner, 3sc in this and each corner, sc evenly across each side, finishing with 2 sc in first corner, join with sl st to first sc.
When working the border if your edges start to look ruffled use less stitches, if the edge looks tight you need more stitches.
How many stitches you need will depend on your tension, 3 stitches for every 3 rows (at the sides) worked for me. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Tassels
Make 4 tassels and attach to corners. I used a DVD case to measure my tassels with 50 wraps width wise for each tassel. Take a darning needle and a length of yarn and take the yarn underneath the wraps at the top of the case and secure with a knot, leaving enough yarn to use the ends to attach to the blanket. Cut the yarn wraps at the bottom of the case and slide off. Taking another length of yarn tie around all strands about one inch from the top to form your tassel. An entire 100g ball of yarn was used to make all 4. See video for more details.
