Pattern notes
PDF version, should you wish to purchase one is available from the Etsy site.
Please note that the measurements are approximate. The actual length and width will depend on your tension which might be different than mine and the type of yarn used.
Note 1: If you decide to crochet a different number of figures, you need to allow 17 stitches for one wave and add 3 stitches at the end. For example, if you would like to have 5 repeats, then multiply 17 times 5, which gives 85 stitches. To these 85 stitches, you need to add 3 more which brings you to a chain of 88. Additionally, if you decide to crochet with a wide border, add as many stitches as you feel you would like evenly on both sides. The blanket presented here is with 4 repetitions of the main pattern plus 20 stitches for the wide border (10 on each side) which makes it
10 border + (17 x 4) + 3 for the main body pattern + 10 border = 91 to start with
Note 2: When working on a row with double crochet the very first chain does not count as a stitch. That means you start the row by chain 1 or 2 (whichever seems better and does not pull the side – I did ch1 but with thinner yarn, you may need ch2). After that chain, you will work the very first double crochet in the very first stitch. I crochet this way to avoid gaps at the start of the rows.
Note 3: In the last few pages there is the explanation for crocheting sampler wave stitch should you wish to test the size. There is also a note on working in the back loops or front loops only. These are supported by images.
Chain 91
The wide border at the beginning
Row 1: Work 1dc in the third chain from the hook, then 1dc in each chain until the end (88dc in total for the row). Ch1 and turn
Row 2 (RS): Work 1dc in the first stitch, then work 1dc in the back loop until you have just one stitch left. Work the last dc through both loops (88dc in total). Ch1 and turn
Row 3 (WS): Work 1dc in the first stitch, then work 1dc in the front loop until you have just one stitch left. Work the last dc through both loops (88dc in total). Ch1 and turn
Row 4 (RS): Work 1dc in the first stitch, then work 1dc in the back loop until you have just one stitch left. Work the last dc through both loops (88dc in total). Ch1 and turn
Row 5 (WS): Work 1dc in the first stitch, then work 1dc in the front loop until you have just one stitch left. Work the last dc through both loops (88dc in total). Ch1 and turn
Row 6 (RS): Work 1dc in the first stitch, then work 1dc in the back loop until you have just one stitch left. Work the last dc through both loops (88dc in total). Ch1 and turn.
Row 7 (WS): Work sc through both loops, then sc in the front loop until you have only 1 stitch left. Work that list sc stitch through both loops.
With this, we have finished the border of the blanket. From Row 8 we will work
Body of the blanket
Row 8: Ch1, 1dc in the first stitch, then 9dc in the back loop only - 10dc in total (this is the right-hand side border). Now work 2dc in the next 3 stitches; skip one stitch and work *1dc in the next, skip one*. Work 5 times from * to *.
{Then work 2dc in each of the next 6 stitches (12 in total); skip one stitch and work *1dc in the next, skip one*. Work 5 times from * to *}. Repeat all in the curly brackets from {to} until you have 13 stitches let on the row.
Finish the row by 2dc in the next 3 stitches, then 1dc in the next 9 stitches but at the back loop only finishing the last dc through both loops. Ch1 and turn.
Row 9: Sc in the first stitch; sc in the next 9 stitches but front loop only (that’s 10 stitches in total). Continue working sc through both loops now until you have only 10 stitches left. Then work again sc in the next 9 front loops and the 10th is worked through both loops.
Repeat Rows 8 and 9 until you reach row number 32. Then we work the wide border again.
Ending of the blanket
Row 33 (RS): Work 1dc in the first stitch, then work 1dc in the back loop until you have just one stitch left. Work the last dc through both loops (88dc in total). Ch1 and turn
Row 34 (WS): Work 1dc in the first stitch, then work 1dc in the front loop until you have just one stitch left. Work the last dc through both loops (88dc in total). Ch1 and turn
Row 35 (RS): Work 1dc in the first stitch, then work 1dc in the back loop until you have just one stitch left. Work the last dc through both loops (88dc in total). Ch1 and turn
Row 36 (WS): Work 1dc in the first stitch, then work 1dc in the front loop until you have just one stitch left. Work the last dc through both loops (88dc in total). Ch1 and turn
Row 37 (RS): Work 1dc in the first stitch, then work 1dc in the back loop until you have just one stitch left. Work the last dc through both loops (88dc in total). Ch1 and turn.
Row 38 (WS): Work sc through both loops, then sc in the front loop until you have only 1 stitch left. Work that list sc stitch through both loops.
Border around the blanket:
*Ch3, 2dc in the same stitch, skip 2dc stitches and slst in the third*. Repeat from * to * all the way around the blanket joining the ends by slst. Wave in the ends.
