Crochet Stained Glass Blanket - week 9 / 12

It's Week 9 already of the Stained Glass Blanket CAL - and this week we are going to change it up again by making large squares! The large squares are a continuation of the small squares and we are going to make two this week - the blue one and the green one.

If you haven't started this CAL already and would like to, you can find the first blog post about it HERE.

This weeks squares look something like this....

You will only need 1 of each large square.

First, lets do the blue square (or the first colour you used).

So, you need to return to the small blue square video and do rounds 1-12 ..... you can find the written pattern to accompany it HERE if you need it.

Once you have done those 12 rounds then continue to make a large square, you can find the video for that here...

The written pattern to accompany this square is at the bottom of this page.

And now for the large green square..

Like before you need to return to the small green square video and do rounds 1-11..... you can find the written pattern to accompany it HERE if you need it.

Hook needed...

4.50mm  (my favourite is Clover Amour)

This is a simplified pattern to stand side-by-side with my videos – only stating the stitches used along ONE side (including corners). The stitch shown in RED is the centre stitch of each side.  This needs to be reversed then repeated for the other sides.  I work in UK Crochet Terminology.  If you would like a stitch convertor chart then you can find one HERE.

Always work in the BACK LOOP for DC and FRONT LOOP (row below) for TR.  (see video for more details).
