The Yarn…

The Opalescent Collection is a set of 10 colours. From it I used 9 colours to make up the squares for my blanket and saved the very last skein for the contrasting pom pom border of the blanket. I’ve decided that I want Cumulus (a blue colour) to be my border pom poms and the rest of the colours will be worked into 99 squares. —That’s 11 squares from each of the remaining 9 skeins.

Glossary (using US Crochet Terminology)

st(s)- stitch(es)
ch- chain
ch-sp- chain space
sl st- slip stitch
rnd- round
YO- yarn over
SC- single crochet
HDC- half double crochet
DC- double crochet
tr- treble crochet
CJAYG- continuous join-as-you-go
cl st(s)- cluster stitch(es)
4 DC cl– 4 double crochet cluster stitch
puff- puff stitch
RS- right side

How to puff stitch (puff): YO and insert hook into st, YO and pull up a loop (pull up to about the height of a DC). Repeat this 2 more times. There should be 7 loops on the hook. YO and pull through all 7 loops.

How to 4 DC cl: YO and insert hook into sp, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through 2. Repeat 3 more times. There should be 5 loops on the hook. YO and pull through all 5 loops.

Pattern Notes

Please adjust hook size to meet gauge.
In some cases, the video tutorials have been used for other patterns. Please follow the yarn recommendations, hook size and stitch counts in the written pattern- the videos are only meant as visual guides.
Ch 2 counts as DC throughout.
Ch 3 counts as tr throughout.
Each skein weighs 100g-Each square weighs 9g. So, if you make 11 squares from 9 skeins it will yield 99 squares and a blanket that is 9x11. I saved the last skein (Colour Faceted) for the pom-pom border.
This blanket is joined with CJAYG (see video tutorial in Blanket Assembly section)- however you can achieve this same look by completing a 4th round of traditional granny square stitches and then using the “zig zag sl st” method of joining to achieve the same braided effect. Please note this requires more yarn so adjust for that.
The Colour Legend is my attempt to provide you with colour accurate photos that you can use if you’d like to find an alternative yarn.

***Please see the YouTube video tutorial below on how to make Sunburst Granny Squares:

Assembling Blanket Squares (CJAYG):

With RS of squares face up, lay out all squares in the arrangement from the colour graph above.
Using joining colour Dove, start in top right-hand corner to join squares across the rows.
Example: First row will be joined from square number 9 across to square number 1. The second row will start with square number 18 and be worked across to square number 10.
Following along with the video tutorial, crochet squares together until blanket is complete.
