Supplies
Just my stripe, 3 oz, 85g, 177 yd, 162 m, 3 cakes blue
Approximately 4 oz unlabeled gray worsted, approx 750-850 total yds.
US J-10/6.00

Tips
I did control where the color changed in the beginning part of my blanket so the center design would be one color. I didn’t want a color change in the middle of one side as I feel it is visually distracting. As the blanket got larger, I let the color flow naturally from the cake.
Counts will be for one side.

Stitches
Into the legs of a stitch=when you look underneath the two top loops, you will see a V in the front which is called the legs of the stitch. Insert your hook In the middle of that V.
4 YO Bead Stitch (loosely yo, go around previous post, yarn over, go under post again, yarn over, go under post again until you have nine stitches on your hook. Yarn over and pull through eight stitches, yarn over and pull through last two.)
