This blanket can be made very fast and is very warm. I made it for my nephew to go with his avengers themes room so that is why I chose the colors, Cincinnati Red, Washington Denim, Atlanta Apricot, Dallas Grey, Fort Worth Blue, and Grand Rapids Green in Lion Brand Hometown USA. There are many other colors to choose from though.
Materials:
12 or more skeins Bulky (5/6) yarn in 6 colors
Crochet hook size N
Large eye needle for fixing ends
Tape measure
Scissors
Pattern:
Row 1: Make a simple chain about 40 inches long. Hold yarn loosely so this end won’t be too tight, ch2 more,
Row 2: Dc in third ch from hook. Dc in every ch across. You may want to measure again to make sure it isn’t more than 40 inches.
Row 3-10: Ch 2, turn, Dc in every st across (ch 2 always counts as dc)
Change to second color
Row 11-19: Ch 2, turn, Dc in every st across (ch 2 always counts as dc)
Change to third color
Row 20-28: Ch 2, turn, Dc in every st across (ch 2 always counts as dc)
Change to fourth color
Row 29-37: Ch 2, turn, Dc in every st across (ch 2 always counts as dc)
Change to fifth color
Row 38-46: Ch 2, turn, Dc in every st across (ch 2 always counts as dc)
Change to sixth color
Row 47-55: Ch 2, turn, Dc in every st across (ch 2 always counts as dc)
Finish off, or change to another color and continue in the same way.
I only had enough yarn to do nine dc rows, so that’s how many I did, but if you have 3 skeins of each color you could make your stripes 14 or 15 rows.
