Step-by-Step Instructions for the Demelza Blanket

Step 1: Creating the Foundation Chain

1. Determine Blanket Size:
   • Decide on the size of your blanket. A common size for a throw blanket is 50x60 inches.
2. Foundation Chain:
   • Start with a slip knot and chain 160 stitches, or a multiple of your desired stitch count plus any additional chains needed for your starting row.

   Example:
   Ch 160.
   

Step 2: First Row of the Blanket

1. Begin the First Row:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, work a double crochet (dc). Continue working dc in each chain across the row.

   Example:
   Row 1: Dc in the 4th ch from the hook, dc in each ch across. (158 dc)
   

Step 3: Subsequent Rows

1. Working the Pattern:
   • For the following rows, you’ll alternate between different stitch patterns to create the textured look of the Demelza Blanket.
2. Sample Row Instructions:
   • Row 2: Chain 3 (counts as first dc), skip 2 stitches, work 3 dc in the next stitch (this creates a shell), repeat from until the end of the row.
   • Row 3: Chain 3, turn your work, work 1 dc in each shell from the previous row, and chain 2 for the gaps.

Step 4: Continuing the Pattern

1. Repeat Stitch Patterns:
   • Continue alternating the shell stitch with rows of double crochet, keeping track of your stitch count for even edges.
2. Change Colors (Optional):
   • If you want to incorporate color changes, do so at the end of a row, joining the new color and carrying on.

Step 5: Finishing the Blanket

1. Last Rows:
   • For the final row, you can choose to work a simple row of single crochet (sc) to give the blanket a finished edge.
2. Fastening Off:
   • Cut the yarn and pull it through the last stitch to secure it. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends.

Step 6: Blocking (Optional)

1. Blocking:
   • Lightly steam block your blanket to help it hold its shape. This will enhance the pattern and make your blanket look polished.
