Crochet Blanket 2 - Zig Zag Black & White



Total time of stitching = 16 hours and 15 minutes
Measurements 46” x 75”
Cost $35


· 8 mm crochet hook or L hook
· Bernat Blanket Yarn - Mallard Wood (blues/browns)



Pattern:Using Bernat Blanket Black, chain 80. DC twice in 4th chain from hook. *skip 1 stitch, 2 dc into next stitch (this forms a group of 2). Repeat * until end. 1 dc in the final chain. Fasten off and turn.

Fasten on Vintage White on first dc. Ch 3, skip the next dc and dc twice into the space between the next group of 2. See picture for clarification. * Dc twice in each space between the groups of 2 from the row below. Repeat * until the end. 1 dc in the final stitch. 


Fasten off and turn. By going between the groups of 2, it causes the stitches to have a zig zag appearance.

Fasten on Black on first dc. Repeat Step 2. Continue to repeat Steps 2 – 3 until your afghan is 36″ long. You will run out of yarn by the end.

Notes - If changing the size of the pattern, the stitch multiples are in sets of 2. If changing the size, it will alter the amount of yarn needed for your project. Every 2 stitches = 1 inch.
