Crochet Moss Stitch Blanket Pattern
Notes: Work with two strands of yarn held together throughout. For the sample blanket, start with the darker Graphite Frost and Skylight Frost held together, then switch to the lighter side of the yarn for the second skeins so the blanket shifts from dark to light to dark. To change the width, chain an even number of stitches.
Approx. finished size: 36 in x 50 in (91 cm x 127 cm)
Ch 110 — hold two strands of yarn together.
Row 1: Sc in the 4th chain from the hook, ch 1, sk the next stitch, sc in the next stitch. Repeat across the row, ending with a sc in the last chain. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2: Sc in the chain space from the row below. Then *ch 1, sk 1 sc, sc in next ch-1 space.* Repeat from * to the end of the row. The last sc is worked into the space between the ch-2 turning chain and the sc from the row before. Ch 2, turn.
Repeat Row 2 until you have 132 rows or reach your desired length. Fasten off and weave in ends with a tapestry needle.
Finishing note: The double-strand, halo-effect yarn creates a soft fuzzy surface and helps the moss stitch look full and cushy. Adjust the starting chain (even number) and number of rows to customize blanket dimensions.
