Lion Brand Go For Fleece Sherpa Yarn (Weight: 7/Jumbo 100% Polyester – 89 yards/81m, 6.5oz/184g)
- Color A: Cream – 6 skeins (approximately 534 yards)

Finished Blanket: approximately 48in x 48in
ABBREVIATIONS:
ch – chain
st – stitch
dc – double crochet
PATTERN NOTES:
- There is no wrong side or right side to this blanket.
- The ch 2 turning chain does NOT count as a stitch.
- Using jumbo fleecy yarn can be tricky as you are not able to see exactly where to place your hook; you will need to feel for your next stitch as you work along your row. The larger hook size will help with this, and fluffy yarn is more forgiving if you make mistakes.
- Placing a stitch marker in the first stitch of every row worked will help to determine where you need to place your last stitch on any given row.
- The pattern is worked by repeating one row of double crochet and switching colors at the end of the indicated row before turning.
- The shorter horizontal panel is worked first with alternating cream and grey stripes at the bottom, and then grey yarn is joined at the bottom corner and vertical rows are worked into the ends of the rows to create the long stripe up the side.
THE PATTERN:
Beginning with Color A, ch 50.
Row 1: dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each chain across, turn. (48)
Row 2: ch 2, dc in 1st st from hook and in each chain across, turn. (48)
Row 3: Repeat Row 2, switch to Color B.
Continue to repeat Row 2, changing to the indicated color at the end of the row for that section and before turning your work, as follows:
| Row Numbers | Yarn Color | Total Number of Rows Worked |
| Rows 4-6 | Color B | 3 |
| Rows 7-9 | Color A | 3 |
| Rows 10-12 | Color B | 3 |
| Rows 13-36 | Color A | 24 |
After row 36 is worked, fasten off.
You will now begin to work the longer edge of your blanket with the same alternating stripe pattern.
Beginning with Color B, join yarn to the bottom edge of the first panel (bottom right corner of the first row of Color A that you worked).
Row 1: ch 2, dc into ends of rows, working approximately 2 dc for each row, turn. (72)
Row 2: ch 2, dc in 1st st from hook and in each chain across, turn. (72)
Row 3: Repeat Row 2, switch to Color A.
Continue to repeat Row 2, changing to the indicated color at the end of the row for that section and before turning your work, as follows:
| Row Numbers | Yarn Color | Total Number of Rows Worked |
| Rows 4-6 | Color A | 3 |
| Rows 7-9 | Color B | 3 |
| Rows 10-12 | Color A | 3 |
Fasten off and weave in your ends. Get ready for some cozy nights, cuddled up under this crochet fleece blanket with a roaring fire and a good book!
