Free Crochet Pattern Instructions
NOTE: These instructions create the third tier which consists only of the same rectangle element across. When working chains and any slip stitches, try to work loosely since you will be working into them later.
Before you even get started, you need to understand that this isn’t something that’s going to be traditional. My suggestion is that you start with something small, like a scarf before jumping into the blanket.
Start with something like a three repeat, which is an initial chain of 23. It makes a quick project and helps establish the method.
First Rectangle
Row 1: Join yarn with sl st in marked st from previous tier (place marker in same joined position for next tier), *insert hook in side of next row, pull lp through, rep from * 5 times more: 7 sts. Close: sk 1 ch, insert hook in side of next row of next element, yo, pull lp through and pull lp through st on hook (sl st made), [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across.
Rows 2-6: Sk first st, 6 tks (see Special Stitches: 7 sts. Close: sl st to side of next row of next element (1 st closed), [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across.
Row 7: Ch 1, inserting hook as for established stitches, sl st across 6 sts, finish connecting this element to the prior element with sl st in the same position of the last sl st join. 1 lp remains on hook, do not fasten off.
Rectangle
Row 1: *Insert hook in side of next row, pull lp through, rep from * 5 times more: 7 sts. Close: sk 1 ch, insert hook in side of next row of next element, yo, pull lp through and pull lp through st on hook (sl st made), [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across.
Rows 2-7: Repeat as for First Rectangle.
Repeat Rectangles across to end. Fasten off after last Rectangle: 13 Rectangles.
