Crochet Corner to Corner Blanket

This throw is started at one corner and beautifully increases and decreases while we change the colours for the stripes. It is quite easy to get our desired length and to follow the instructions of this pattern to crochet this blanket.

Yarn will depend on the length and width you choose for this throw or blanket. I used 
4 medium Acrylic yarn
5mm crochet hook.

Yarn needle to finish off the sides

With A, ch 6.

Row 1 (Right Side): Dc in 4th ch from hook and in next 2 ch; turn – 1 block made.

Row 2: Ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook and in next 2 ch, (slip st, ch 3, 3 dc) all in ch-3 space of previous row changing to B in last dc; turn – 2 blocks made.

Row 3: With B, ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook and in next 2 ch, [(slip st, ch 3, 3 dc) all in next ch-3 space of previous row] twice; turn – 3 blocks made.

Row 4: Ch 6, dc in 4th ch from hook and in next 2 ch, [(slip st, ch 3, 3 dc) all in next ch-3 space of previous row] 3 times; turn – 4 blocks made.

Continue in in this manner, increasing 1 block on each row until there are 96 blocks across AND working Stripe pattern as follows: 2 more rows B, 2 rows A, [7 rows C, 2 rows A, 2 rows B, 2 rows A, 7 rows C, 2 rows A, 4 rows B, 2 rows A] 3 times, 4 rows C.

Now work in decreasing rows as follows: 

Row 97: With C, slip st across first 3 dc, * (slip st, ch 3, 3 dc) all in next ch-3 space of previous row; repeat from * to last ch-3 space; slip st in last space; turn, do NOT make a block in last space – 95 blocks.

Repeat Row 97 for decreasing block pattern and work 2 more rows with C, [2 rows A, 2 rows B, 2 rows A, 7 rows C, 2 rows, A, 4 rows B, 2 rows A, 7 rows C] 3 times, 2 rows A, 2 rows B, 2 rows A, 2 rows C – 1 block remains. Fasten off.
