The stitch is mini, the blanket is large enough to cover a twin bed, use as a throw, or at the end of any size bed. If you want it to be wider, use one more color and add another 30 chains of that color at the beginning.
The texture is thick and cushy without being stiff.
Bernat Forever Fleece super bulky 6 weight yarn: (or any 6 weight yarn)
4 skeins of each color with some left over. 1 skein makes 1 block, so if you want to make the blanket wider by adding another color, get 4 skeins of that color also.
Color A: White Noise
Color B: Matcha
Color C: Chamomile
Ch=chain
Sc=single crochet
Dc=double crochet
Fpdc=front post double crochet
Bpdc=back post double crochet
St sc=stacked single crochet (sc, put your hook in the left loop of the sc, yarn over, pull through 2 loops for the second part of the stacked sc. This makes it look like a dc and keeps your edges straight so you don’t need a border.
Chain 91 for a 45” wide blanket or any multiple of 3 plus 1
My blanket is about 68” long with 4 block rows.
Row 1
Sc in the back bump of the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across.
Ch 1, turn
Row 2:
Stacked sc in the first stitch. Dc in the next 28 stitches. In the 30th stitch, begin a dc, pick up color B to pull both colors through the last 2 loops on your hook, then drop color A. When you tug on color A it will pretty much disappear. You can crochet over the color B tail.
Dc in the next 29 stitches. In the 30th stitch, begin a dc, but before pulling the yarn through the last 2 loops, pick up color C and pull both through the last 2 loops, then drop color B.
Dc in each of the remaining 30 stitches.
Do not chain, just turn
Row 3:
Stacked sc in the first stitch. Front post dc in the next. Back post dc in the next. Alternate fpdc and bpdc, changing color when you reach the next color.
Dc in the last stitch.
At the end of the row, do not chain, turn
Row 4:
Stacked sc in the first stitch.
Alternate fpdc and bpdc.
If the post is pushed forward, make it a bpdc.
If the post is pushed back, make it a fpdc.
It will start to look woven.
Change colors as needed and end with a dc in the last stitch.
Continue repeating row 4 until each color has 25 rows (starting with the first dc row after the sc row) or about 16”. This is about how far you can stretch 1 skein of each color.
At the end of row 25, complete the last dc with color A. Ch 1, turn
Row 26:
Sc in each stitch across
This will look like row 1.
Complete the last sc with color B,
Turn, no chain
Row 27:
Stacked sc in the first stitch, dc in each stitch, changing to color C (above the color B block), dc in each stitch and change to color A (above the color C block)
Row 28:
Stacked sc in the first stitch.
Alternate fpdc and bpdc across, changing to color after 30 stitches.
The last stitch will be a dc.
Row 29:
Stacked sc in the first stitch.
If the next stitch is pushed to the back, make a fpdc to pull it forward.
If it’s pushed to the front, make a bpdc to push it back.
Alternate across, changing colors after 30 stitches.
Repeat row 29 through row 52
Row 53:
Ch 1,
Sc in each stitch across.
Cut colors B and C leaving tails to weave in
At the end of the row, drop color A before pulling through the last 2 loops. Pick up color C and complete the sc.

Repeat rows 27-29.
Change to color A after 30 stitches, color B after 30 stitches.
Row 82:
At the end of row 81, drop color B before pulling through the last 2 stitches. Pick up color A and pull through the last 2 stitches.
Ch 1, turn.

At the end of the row, fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
