Ok, so I have an 18" 'American Girl' dolly--not a real one but she is cute and a great model for my patterns! This blanket fits baby dolls thru 18" dolls.
14" wide x 15.5" tall
MATERIALS NEEDED:
Size J (6mm) crochet hook
Approx. 150 yds of worsted weight (#4) yarn
Ch. 44
Row 1: 2 dc in 4th ch from hook, 1 dc in each of next 4 chs, skip the next 2 ch (forms the valley), 1 dc in each of next 4 ch, *3 dc in next ch (forms the hill), 1 dc in each of next 4 ch, skip the next 2 chs, 1 dc in each of next 4 ch.
Repeat from * to last ch. 2 dc in last ch. Chain 2 and turn.
Row 2: 2 dc in first dc, skip 2 dcs, 1 dc in each of next 4 dc, *3 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of next 4 dc, skip next 2 dc, 1 dc in each of next 4 dc. Repeat from * to last dc, 2 dc in last ch. Chain 2 and turn.
Row 3: 2 dc in first dc, 1 dc in each of next 4 dc, skip the next 2 dc, 1 dc in each of next 4 dc, *3 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of next 4 dc, skip next 2 dc, 1 dc in each of next 4 dc. Repeat from * to last dc, 2 dc in last ch. Chain 2 and turn.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until blanket is desired size.
The one in the photo is 14" wide x 15.5" long
I did 6 repeats of 3 rows of the mint green, and 1 row of pink, for a total of 23 rows; but you can make yours anyway you would like.
Edging: Sc in each stitch around the outside edge. At the corners make 2 sc, ch 1, 2 sc in same corner stitch. Then do a 2nd row of *sc, ch 1, repeat from * around. End off and weave in ends.
