A Perfect Crochet Throw Blanket for the Cold Months
The Fall Stripes crochet blanket is thick and cozy and perfect for the winter and fall months. The blanket used a super thick blanket yarn and works up quickly.
Adjusting the Size
Below you will find instructions for several different size blankets. You can make anything from a lapghan to a California king-size blanket. If you want to make a different size blanket than what is listed, just work a chain to the length of the blanket you want to make. If you want to 30 x 40-inch blanket, crochet a chain that is 40 inches long. We want to work the stripes down the longest section of the blanket. Then work enough rows to reach your second measurement. (In this example, you would work until your blanket is 30 inches wide.)
The Premium Ad-Free PDF Pattern
Below you will find the free pattern with all the instructional photos and videos needed to complete the pattern, but I am also aware that several of us like to crochet on the couch, in the car, or in bed with a printout of the pattern. This is why I also offer a nicely formatted large font PDF version of the pattern that can be purchased on Etsy or Ravelry. You can print the pattern and take it on the go with you or tuck it into your project bag.

Special Stitches
YOSL: Yarn Over Slip Stitch – Yarn over the hook, insert the hook into the next stitch, Yarn Over, and pull the loop through the stitch. (You will have three loops on your hook) Pull the first loop through the second and third loop on the hook. Your stitch is complete.
You will often see the yarn over slip stitch worked in the Back Loop Only so it creates a knit-like rib texture. The yarn over slip stitch can also be called the half double slip stitch.

Fall Stripes Crochet Throw Blanket Pattern
Notes:
-Written in US terms.
-Do not count the CH1, turning chain, as a stitch.
Lapghan – CH 91
Small Throw – CH 114
Large Throw – CH 136
Twin- Size – CH 170
Full-Size – CH 170
Queen-Size – CH 203
King- Size – CH 203
California King-Size – CH 218
Row 1: HDC in the third CH from the hook. HDC in each CH across. (Stitch count will be 2 less than the starting chain.)
Row 2: CH1, turn, Work a YOSL in the BLO of every ST across. (The stitch count is the same as row 1.)
Row 3: CH1, turn, Work a HDC in the BLO of every ST across.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until you have the number of rows indicated below for the size blanket that you are making.
Lapghan – Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until you have a total of 53 Rows.
Small Throw – Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until you have a total of 77 Rows.
Large Throw – Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until you have a total of 89 Rows.
Twin- Size – Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until you have a total of 89 Rows.
Full-Size – Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until you have a total of 135 Rows.
Queen-Size – Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until you have a total of 135 Rows.
King- Size – Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until you have a total of 161 Rows.
California King-Size – Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until you have a total of 171 Rows.
Once your rows are complete, fasten off and weave in your ends. Now you have the option to add fringe to the short sides of your blanket.
How to Add Fringe
I did not add fringe to my blanket but it is an option. I would recommend adding fringe to both ends of every half double crochet row.
Step 1: Cut six 10-inch strands of yarn for every half double crochet row worked in the blanket. (3 strands for each side of the row.)
Step 2: Take 3 strands and fold them in half to create a loop.
Step 3: Use a hook to pull the loop around the last half double crochet of a row.
Step 4: Pull all 6 yarn ends through the loop and pull tight to create a fringe.
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 for both ends of every half double crochet row.
Now your Fall Stripe Crochet Throw Blanket is complete and ready to be enjoyed. This blanket is perfect for the cooler months of the year.
