One More Row Crochet Blanket Pattern For Falls

Crochet blankets bring unmatched style and comfort, but the One More Row Crochet Blanket Pattern stands out with a touch of uniqueness.

The central portion features a plain orange shade, embellished with a customizable message, “one more row.” However, you can add your personal touch by changing the text with a message of your choice. Its distinctive characteristic is the decorative border, beautifully crafted with granny squares, that renders a compelling aesthetic. Ideal for fall decorations and Halloween, this crochet blanket carries a festive vibe with an artistic personal message.

Step by step Pattern

MOTIF (make 34)

Notes:

Motifs begin with Color 1 (shortest colour rep) from the centre of the pull-skein, leaving a 4″ [10 cm] tail to weave in.
Each colour aligns with 1 round (rnd) in the Motif with 5 colours in total. If too much colour is left at the end of the rnd, pull back some stitches (sts) and slightly loosen the gauge to re-work the sts and finish at the colour change. If too little colour is left, pull back some sts and slightly tighten the gauge to re-work sts and finish at colour change.
When the Motif is complete, cut yarn where Color 5 (longest colour rep) ends, leaving a tail for weaving in. Begin the next Motif with Color 1 and repeat 5 rnds for each Motif.

Notes:

Ch 3 at beg of rnd counts as dc.
Ch 6 at beg of rnds counts as dc and ch-3 sp.
Join all rnds with sl st to 3rd ch of ch-6 unless otherwise indicated.
