Special Notes

• Starting Chain: Multiple of 3 + 2 (Sample: 101 ch, for approx. 39″ width)
• Mesh Section: Main stitch is ch 2, sl st mesh for airy drape.
• Lace Panel: Uses chainless triple crochet (stacked 3 sc) or ch-4, plus sideways puff stitches and triple crochets for texture.
• Width/Length Adjustments: Change the starting chain (keeping multiple of 3 + 2). Adjust section row counts for a shorter or longer blanket.
• Edge: The stitch naturally forms an attractive edge, so no extra border is required.

Pattern

1. Foundation

• With L (8.0 mm) hook, make a slip knot.
• Ch 101 (or any multiple of 3 + 2 for desired width).

Switch back to L (8.0 mm) hook.

• Lace panel: Repeat as steps above, working through all rows of lace.
• Repeat this entire two-part sequence (mesh + lace) for the desired blanket length, ending with a mesh section (four mesh sections and three lace panels for the sample).

5. Final Row

• Switch to K (6.5 mm) hook.
• Ch 1, turn.
• Sc in first sl st, sc in first ch-2 sp, then sc in each sl st and ch-2 sp across.

6. Finishing

• Fasten off.
• Weave in all ends with the yarn needle.

Pattern Corrections & Tips

• Correction: Make sure your starting chain is a multiple of 3 plus 2. Mesh sections must have an odd number of rows for symmetry with lace panels.
• Tips:
  • Adjust length by adding or subtracting repeat rows (always keep mesh sections odd-numbered in rows).
  • Use a third ball if you want a larger size, or to ensure you don’t run short.
  • The chainless triple at the beginning of lace rows results in a tidier edge. If you are not comfortable, use ch-4 as a substitute but expect a small gap.

This thrill blanket offers both visual and tactile interest, with a lively and easy mesh section peppered by intermediate lace rows.
