Photo Tutorial – Crochet Pattern: Joyful Rectangle Blanket!

❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈

Thanks for visiting my page! Here is a written tutorial with photos on how to make my Joyful Rectangle Blanket!

First, with any project you'll need a crochet hook and yarn. Any yarn or hook will do for learning this blanket

For this tutorial you'll need to know how to make Chains (CH), I have a tutorial here! How to make the Slip Stitch (SL ST), tutorial here! How to make the Single Crochet Stitch (SC), tutorial here! And how to make the Double Crochet Stitch (DC), tutorial here!

Row 1: Make 20 CHs

Make 1 SC into the 2nd CH from your hook, then I SC into each CH across

Row 2: Make 3 CHs (Counts as 1 DC)

Now we are going to work our rectangle around these SC we made in Row 1

Make 2 DC into that 1st ST

 

*Skip 2 STs, make 3 DC into the next ST

Repeat the step above from * for the rest of this side

We are going to work around to the other side now

Make 3 CHs for our corner space

Make 3 DC into that same ST as the 3 DC you had just made 

Make 3 CHs for our next corner space

Make 3 DC into that same ST as the 3 DC you had just made 

Skip 2 STs, make 3 DC into the next ST

Repeat this step the rest of this side

We are going to work around this corner now

Make 3 CHs for our next corner space

Make 3 DC into that same ST as the 3 DC you had just made 

Make 3 CHs for our next corner space

Then SL ST into the 1st CHs you made in this row to complete

 

Row 3: (Starting at any previous corner space) Make 5 CHs

 

Make 1 SC into that same corner space

*Make 3 CHs, SK 3 STs

 Make 1 SC into next space between STs

Repeat the steps above from * until you reach the next corner space

1 SC, CH 3, 1 SC into that corner space

So now you would make 3 CHs to SK any 3 STs

Make 1 SC into any space between STs

Then the corner are: 1 SC, CH 3, 1 SC

Once you get back to the 1st CHs you made in this row, SL ST into those CHs to complete this row

Row 4: (Starting at any previous corner space) CH 3, make 2 DC into same space

 Make 3 CHs

Make 3 DC into same corner space

Make 3 DC into next CH space

Repeat this step until you reach the next corner space

Next/Each Corner Space: 3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC

 

So you would now make 3 DC into any side CH space

 And the corners stay the same: 3 DC, CH 3, 3 DC

Once you get back to the 1st CHs you made in this row, SL ST into those CHs to complete this row

You would now alternate between rows 3 & 4 for however long you want your project

 

This is what how my Joyful Rectangle Blanket should look like when completed!
