Needles : I used a 4mm hook for the blanket in the photo, my tension is on the looser side. If your tension is tight I would suggest going up in size with your hook. With a light worsted yarn a 4mm to 5mm will be fine, with a worsted yarn ( aran ) a 5mm to 5.5mm will also work perfectly, making it a much thicker bigger blanket. Yarn : I used Stylecraft 100% premium acrylic dk 100g balls ( light worsted yarn ) in shade cream ~ 1005, I used 275g in total. Finished blanket size : Approximately 28 inches X 28inches. Depending on your tension, hook size and yarn used the size may vary. Gauge : 17 stitches x 18 rows = 4 inch square. Adjust hook size if wanting the same size blanket in the photo. Terminology ( US & UK ) : Ch(s) ~ Chain(s). Sc ~ Single crochet ( UK double crochet ). Ps ~ Puff stitch. St(s) ~ Stitch(es). ( ) ~ Work instructions within brackets as many times as directed. Yo ~ Yarn over ( uk Yoh ~ Yarn over hook ). Pattern notes : Pattern is in US terminology. Gauge is not important for this pattern. Beginning chain is not included in the total stitch count. Every row ends with 103 stitches with a Ch 1 and turn. Always start the first Sc of each row into the first stitch that the ch1 came from. For best results it is best to use a plain solid colour. If you're reading the pattern from the chart, it is worked from the bottom of the chart upwards, and left to right. Add a stitch at the end of the chain row and start the 1st row from the 2nd chain from the hook, ch 1 at the end of each row. Puff stitches are created on the wrong side of the blanket and will pop out into the front of the blanket. If your puff stitch is not popping forward try a tighter than normal sc into the next stitch ( this sc will be part of the pattern, not an extra stitch added ). For pattern support please contact me via the website you purchased this pattern from. I had a left handed tester test this pattern for me, they found that following the lines backwards worked better for them, as this is my first left hand tester I can not confirm that this works. How to create a Puff stitch : Yarn over and pull up a loop, 6 times ( 13 loops on the hook) yarn over and pull through 12 loops leaving 2 loops on the hook ( if you're finding it hard to pull through the 12 loops you may need to pull up a little higher when you yarn over, making them looser ) then yarn over and pull through the remaining 2 loops, sc into the next stitch to lock down the puff stitch, ( this sc will be part of the pattern, not an extra stitch added ) the puff stitch will naturally pop out on the right side of the blanket creating the puff stitch. Chain - 104 sts, Each row after this will end with 103 sts including the ps stitch. All even rows throughout this pattern are Sc into all sts.

Info :
Border: To finish off the blanket I like to do a row of sc down the left and right front sides, to tidy the raw edges. On this blanket I chose not to add a full border, the option is yours. To finish I like to do a gentle block ( which is optional ) With acrylic yarn it's best to be very gentle when blocking as the yarn can over stretch with no return, I start with the top and work around the blanket very gently.
