A Crochet Afghan for Spring

I just love the cluster v-stitch used in this blanket. I used this stitch for the Cluster Infinity scarf and it was so lovely. The stitch reminds me of how lavender buds are stacked on top of each other. This blanket would make a wonderful springtime throw.

9 Sizes of Afghans

In order to make this blanket just the size you want, I have provided 9 different sizes for this blanket. You can make anything from a small baby blanket to a king size bed cover.

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.

Lavender Crochet Afghan

Notes:
– Written in US terms.
– I do not count my turning chain, as a stitch.
– After working Row 1, measure your row to make sure it matches the before border blanket width listed in the size table.
– Your stitch count for the entire center of your afghan will be 1 less than your starting chain. When counting stitches make sure to count your chain 1 spaces as a stitch.
– If you want to make a custom size of this blanket, you can do so by working a starting chain that is a multiple of 3.

Crochet Afghan Center

With the center color, chain the number of chains listed for the size you are making.

Small Baby Blanket: CH 87
Large Baby Blanket: CH 123
Toddler Blanket: CH 129
Small Throw Blanket: CH 165
Large Throw Blanket: CH 192
Twin Size Blanket: CH 192
Full-Size Blanket: CH 297
Queen Size Blanket: CH 297
King Size Blanket: CH 360

Row 1: HDC in second CH from hook. HDC in each CH across. (Stitch Count will be 1 less than starting chain.)

Row 2: CH2, turn, DC into first ST, Skip 1 ST, (CL, CH1, CL) in next ST. *Skip 2 STs, (CL, CH1, CL) in next ST,* repeat from *to* until you have only 2 STs remaining. Skip 1 ST, DC in last ST. (If counting Stitches and CH1 spaces your stitch count should be the same as Row 1.)

Row 3: CH2, turn, DC in first ST, *(CL, CH1, CL) in next CH 1 space.* repeat from *to* until you have only 2 STs remaining. DC in last ST.

Continue repeating Row 3 until the afghan is 5 inches shorter than the final length. I have provided a row count for each size below.

Small Baby Blanket: Repeat Row 3 until there is a total of 41 rows.
Large Baby Blanket: Repeat Row 3 until there is a total of 57 rows.
Toddler Blanket: Repeat Row 3 until there is a total of 77 rows.

Last Row for Base of Afghan: CH1, turn, HDC in each ST and CH1 space across. (Your stitch count will be the same as Row 1.)

Do not fasten off.

Adding a Border

We will start by working a single crochet border using the center yarn color around the entire project.

Border Row 1: CH1, turn so you are working down the side of the rows. Work 1 SC into the side of the first row. Work 2 SC into the side of every row until you reach the side of the last row. Work 1 SC into the side of the last row.

CH2, turn so you are working into the opposite side of the starting chain. Work 1 SC into the opposite side of every CH.

CH2, turn so you are working down the side of the rows, Work 1 SC into the side of the first row. Work 2 SC into the side of every row until you reach the side of the last row. Work 1 SC into the side of the last row.

CH2, turn, so you are working into the top of the last row of the blanket base, Work 1 SC into each ST across. CH2, SLST to the first SC of this row. Fasten off.

For Row 2 you can work a standing half-double crochet in place of the slip stitch, turning chain, and the first half-double crochet stitch.

Using your border yarn color, slip stitch to any CH2, corner.

Border Row 2: CH1, Work 2 HDC into the CH2 corner space, Work a BLOHDC into each ST across this side, *Work 3 HDC into next CH2 corner space, Work a BLOHDC into each ST across this side,* repeat from *to* a total of 3 times. Work 1 more HDC into the first CH2 corner space. SLST to the first HDC.

Note: In Rows 3-5 I will be referring to the corner stitch. This is the center half-double crochet that was worked into the chain 2 corner space. This also refers to the center half-double crochet working into the corner stitch of the previous row.

Border Row 3-5: CH1, (do not turn,) work 2 HDC into the first stitch. BLOHDC in each ST until you reach the Corner Stitch, *Work 3 HDC into Corner Stitch, BLOHDC in each ST until you reach the next Corner Stitch,* repeat from *to* a total of 5 times. Work 1 more HDC into the first ST. SLST to first HDC.

Feel free to work more border rows if you like. Fasten off and weave in your ends.

Now your lavender crochet afghan is complete and ready to keep you or your loved ones warm.
