Easy blanket pattern

This is a pretty easy blanket to make and it's ever so pretty and warm!!!

 EASY BLANKET PATTERN

You will need: 18 oz of each color it will make a 40 inch by 60 inch blanket and an I hook.

(I used CARON yarn for it's extra softness and an H hook.)  

SPECIAL STITCHES:

THREE STITCH DECREASE: *yo or yarn over insert hook through next stitch, yo and pull loop through stitch, yo and pull through first 2 loops on hook repeat from * twice. Yo and pull through remaining 4 loops on hook.

TWO STITCH DECREASE: *yo, insert hook through next stitch, yo and pull loop through stitch,yo and pull through first 2 loops on hook repeat from * once. Yo and pull through remaining 3 loops on hook.

Chain 178    ROW 1: Dc or double crochet in 3rd chain from hook; dc in the next 6 ch or chain, 3 dc in next ch, dc in next 6 ch; *work 3 dec in next 3 ch, dc in 6 ch, 3 dc in next ch, dc in next 6 ch; Repeat from * across. End by working 2 dec in last 2 ch. Ch 2 and turn.

ROW 2: Skip first dc; dc in next 7 dc, 3 dc in next dc, dc in next 6 dc; *work 3 dec in next 3 stitches,dc in next 6 dc, 3 dc in next dc, dc in next 6 dc; Repeat from * across. End by working 2 dec in last 2 dc. Ch 2 and turn. Repeat ROW 2 until you run out of yarn.

CHANGING COLORS: At end of row, when working 2 dec, drop the current color of yarn when you have the last 3 loops left on your hook to finish the stitch. Yarn over with new color of yarn and pull through the 3 loops on your hook. Ch 2 and turn.

Leave 5 or 6 inch ends of each color of yarn to weave in.

Weave in ends securely. (You may want to tie the ends before you weave them in.)

Purse pattern

This is a little more challenging, but just as fun. 

MY GRANNY SQUARE PURSE PATTERN       

You will need : two different colored balls of yarn and the crochet hook it requires. 

I used RED HEART SUPER SAVER yarn and an I hook. 

Chain four and slip stitch in the fourth chain from hook. Chain three and double crochet twice in the middle of the circle you have made. "Chain three and double crochet three times in the circle." repeat from "to" two more times then make a slip stitch at the top of the chain three and your first two double crochet. Change color. Chain three and make two double crochet in a corner and chain three then make three more double crochet in the same corner. "Chain one and crochet three more double crochet in next corner, chain three, and double crochet three more times in the same corner." repeat from "to" two more times and chain one. Slip stitch at the top of the chain three and the next two double crochet. Chain three and make two double crochet in the corner chain three and make three more double crochet in the same corner. "Chain one and make three double crochet in the next gap then chain one and make three double crochet in the next corner chain three and make three more double crochet in the same corner." Repeat from "to" two more times. Chain one and make three double crochet in the next gap then chain one and slip stitch at the top of the chain three and the next two double crochet. Chain three and make two double crochet in the corner then chain three and make three more double crochet in the same corner.

Repeat from "to" two times then chain one and make three double crochet in the next gap and chain one and make three double crochet in the next gap chain one and slip stitch at the top of the chain three and the next two double crochet. Change color. Make nine more rows by changing the blue after three rows and the white after one. (Remember to make three double crochet, chain three, and three double crochet in the corners and chain one then three double crochet in the gaps and chain one before the next corner.) (Make two.)

Now for the strap. Chain for as long as you would like it and double crochet in the fourth chain from hook then double crochet till the end of row (make at least two or three rows) and slip stitch the squares together and sew the strap to your new purse.
