The Ocean Adventure awaits you! There are many delightful things to see, from the bottom of the ocean, all the way to the very top. Come join us as we explore the ocean and make a beautiful souvenir during this adventure. All you need is a hook and yarn and you will have a “whale of a time.” Happy sailing ahead.
The yarn used can be dk weight or worsted weight
Hook sizes range from 4.0 to 5.5mm.
There are a total of 13 strips
Each pattern works up as 51stitches across, you work them in multiples of 48 and then you have a beginning stitch, an ending stitch and an extra stitch after the last repeat.
A little bit about this project for Ocean Theme.
All of the strips are in Overlay mosaic crochet.
Each pattern is written basically as one repeat with 48 stitches. You will then have 2 edge stitches and one extra stitch at the end of the very last repeat. So, if you make your blanket with 3 repeats, your starting chain would be 148. Then since you start at the second chain from hook, your first foundation row, and strip itself will have 147 stitches throughout. You choose the number of repeats you want, but always keep in mind that it is ONLY the last repeat that gets the extra stitch. All patterns do mention that, so don’t stress. The 2 edge stitches are always worked as regular sc, going through both loops. The stitches in between are either US Dc or US sc. The Dc stitches are worked in the front loop of the stitches 2 rows down, and the sc stitches are worked in the back loop of the previous row. The extra stitch can either be a Dc or an sc, depending on the individual pattern. When all of the strips have been released, we also have a fabulous border to go with the blankets. This is an envelope border, which will hide all of the ends on the sides of the blanket. When you have made your final stitch, the only strand you have to weave in will be the closing one. You will have a completely finished blanket, no other ends to deal with!!
