Crochet Stained Glass Blanket - week 5 / 12

It's Week 5 of the Stained Glass Blanket CAL - and this week we are going to change it up a bit by creating RECTANGLES!

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

Week 5 is the blue rectangle and it looks like this...



You will need 3 of these blue rectangles.

Here is the video link for you. 





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).
