This blanket is called “Variations on a Theme” because as I worked on stitch swatches, I found myself wanting to create many variations of one basic stitch pattern just to see how far it could go. It’s a stitch sampler blanket using many of these patterns.
Here are all the CAL posts:
First post: Variations on a Theme CAL
Edging instructions for squares
Edging instructions for rectangles
Variations on a Theme Square #7
Row 1: Ch 32, sc in second ch from hook, (skip next 2 ch, 5 dc in next ch–shell made, skip next 2 ch, sc in next ch) across, turn.
Row 2: Ch 5 (counts as dc and ch 2), sc in center dc of first shell, ch 2, dc in next sc, (ch 2, sc in center dc of next shell, ch 2, dc in next sc) across, turn.
Row 3: Ch 1, sc in first dc, (shell in next sc, sc in next dc) across, turn.
Rows 4-16 or until piece is square, or almost square: Repeat rows 2-3, ending with row 2.
At end of last row, fasten off.
To make this stitch pattern any size, begin with ch multiple of 6 plus 2.
Edging instructions are in this post.
