Feel like your wrapped up in your favorite fleece!
Bernat Forever Fleece is my favorite yarn, hands down! I love how very thick, soft and easy it is to work with. One of my favorite things about it is that it glides on the hook with ease! I found the colors coal, bergamot, winter waves and matcha to be perfect for that cozy Fall feel.
You know how the inside of your favorite fleece sweatshirt feels? That’s how this yarn feels. It’s slightly fuzzy, without shedding. There is no pilling, it just gets softer and softer with wash and wear!
I used 2 stitch patterns to make this blanket, giving it the interesting texture you see. Wait until you feel it!
The autumnal color palette enhances that cozy feeling. It makes you want to curl up with a good book. You might even want a hot cup of tea! Perfect for sitting in front of the fire, inside or outside! Make it in team colors and wrap up in it while watching (or falling asleep while watching!) your teams!
Enjoy making this pattern and check out my others!
Materials Needed for the Finally Fall Blanket::
Bernat Forever Fleece super bulky 6 weight yarn
Coal-3 skeins
Bergamot-2 1/2 skeins if you choose to make a row of bergamot before the last row of coal. 2 if you only make 2 sections of bergamot.
Balsam – 2 skeins
Matcha – 2 skeins
9mm hook
Chain Row:
Chain 100 (or any number of chains to make the blanket as wide as you want.)
Row 1:
In the second chain from the hook (back bump works best) make a herringbone hdc (hhdc)*
*yarn over, put your hook through the stitch, pull the yarn through, pull the first loop through the second loop. Yarn over and pull through all loops.
Continue to make herringbone half double crochet in each chain across.
Ch 1, turn
Rows 2-4
Herringbone half double crochet in each stitch across,
Ch 1, turn
At the end of row 4, drop color A before pulling through the last 2 loops. Leave a tail for working over with the next color. Pick up color B and pull through the last 2 loops. Chain 1, turn,
Rows 5-12:
Half double crochet in the first full stitch. Alternate half double crochet front loop only, half double crochet back loop only across the row. Half double crochet in the last stitch (full stitch)
Ch 1, turn (at the end of row 12, drop color B before pulling through the last 2 loops of the half double crochet. Leave a tail for working over with the next color. Pick up color A, pull through the last 2 loops and chain 1, turn.
Every time you change colors to color A, (between each 8 rows of the other colors) you’ll make 4 rows of herringbone half double crochet.
Every time you change colors to B, C or D, you’ll make 8 rows of alternating front loop half double crochet, back loop half double crochet.
I made a border in the video, but took it out because I liked it better without the border.
You can see how to make the border on the video.
I hope you enjoy making this pattern!
