Crochet Blanket Free Pattern: Using Harlequin Stitch

Hello there my fellow crochet lovers! I have been yearning to make a blanket using the Harlequin Stitch pattern because aside from its unique design, the result of mixing colored yarns or just using the gradient ones looks really magnificent and eye-catching.

This was the first harlequin blanket I’ve made which is meant for our upcoming baby girl! I cannot contain my joy and excitement that I started to make crochet products for her! 🙂

I have written the whole pattern on this blog and I’m hoping you’ll like it. The pattern itself is actually repetitive, you’ll be able to memorize it right after the 6th Row! You can even do it with eyes closed. Haha! Hope you like this pattern…

Row 7 onwards:

---

2nd to the Last Row:
**no need to change the color of your yarn unless you prefer to

CH – 4,
(DC – 1, HDC – 1, SC – 3, HDC – 1, DC – 1) ***repeat this pattern until end of the row***
at the end, DC – 1 on the very last st

---

Last Row:
CH – 1, SC until end of the row

---

End

You may finish your work by cutting the yarn and weaving the ends from the last row and the sides of the blanket. You might want to weave a long end of yarn since this is a blanket and will be used for long time. 

I made this blanket for our upcoming baby girl and I hope she loves it. 🙂

You may continue the doing the pattern as many rows as you like based on your desired length. You may also use plain-colored yarns and switch colors every after few number of rows. For sure, it would turn out really cute too!
