The tote bag is a lie

So the tote bag was a lie. It was not my last January project. I made a boys toddler blanket and I plan on making a second one in February to make it for my two favorite twin boys. It is my own pattern. The pattern is pretty simple. It took me 8 hours crochet time and 5 days real time

 Pattern for boys toddler blanket

I used hook size 5 and just normal worsted yarn

I did mine is two tons of blue however it can be done in whatever colours that you like best.

Chain 100 (depending how wide you want it to be)

Row 1: Triple Crochet in the fourth chain from hook. Triple crochet in remaining chain stitches.

Row 2: Turn and chain 4. *Triple crochet in second stitch chain 1. Triple crochet in the same stitch. Skip next 2 stitches.* Repeat from star until the end of the row. At the end of the row triple crochet in the chain four from the row before.

Row 3: Turn and chain 4. *Triple crochet in the chain 1 space. Chain 1 triple crochet in the same stitch. skip the next two stitches.* repeat from star to end of the row. At the end of the row Triple crochet in chain four from the row before.

Row 5- Row 51: ( depending on how long you want to make it.) Repeat row 2-4
Fasten off once finished

Border is a 3 row boarder that I got out of a book. You can use any border you would like, however; the one i used is in the picture. I got the boarder out of 50 crocheted afghan borders by Jean Leinhaiser. Page 32 #49

Single crochet in each stitch all the way around with three in each corner. Do 2 rounds of this. I changed my colour after each around.

Third round: Join with sc in center st of any corner group; ch 3, sc in same st; *skip next sc, in next sc work (sc, ch2, sc)*, rep from star to star and join at start.

weave in all your ends and its all done.


This is my final final project for January :)
