Free Pattern: Boho Chic Blanket (Translation)

Hi ladies and gentlemen!

Once again we have the pleasure if translating a wonderful pattern from Lucie (Vivre au Crochet) from French to English. The Boho Chic Blanket is a true beauty and we are very happy that Lucie trusted us with translating this beauty!

So without further ado, here comes the pattern!

Free Pattern: Boho Chic Blanket

You will need
- Scrap yarn in various colors (Aran)
- 5 balls of yarn (100g each) in an off white color as the main color (Aran)
- 2 balls of yarn (100g each) of another secondary color for the border (Aran)
- 5 mm crochet hook

Important: You will not turn your work after Row 1. You will need to start at the same side of the work all the time.

Blanket Body

Use the border color to crochet a chain. The chain should measure about 150 cm, the stitch count is not important as long as it is a multiple of three, plus two. 

Row 1: 1hdc into the third ch from the hook, and then into each ch. (Note: The turning 2ch at the beginning of this row does not count as a stitch!)

Note from Anne: You can also start with a hdc foundation row in the desired length in a multiple of 3. A tutorial for the foundation row can be found here.

Row 2: Using main color and start with the V-stitch. Chain 3, sk 2 st, *(1dc, 1ch, 1dc) into the next st, sk 2st* til the end of the row, (1ch, 1 dc) in the last st. Finish off. Do not turn. 

Row 3: Change color to any desired color (expect the main color). You're going to work into every second v stitch from the row below. Ch3, *3hdctog, ch1, 3hdctog into the next v-stitch from the row below, sk 1 v-stitch from the row below, 2ch* repeat till the end of the row, finish with 1hdc into the last ch1 from the row below. Finish off. 

Row 4: Change color to any desired color (expect main color). You're going to work into the skipped v-stitches from two rows below and into every v-stitch from the row below. Ch3, *1hdc, ch1, 1hdc into the v-stitch from the row below, 1dc, ch1, 1dc into the v-stitch from two rows below* repeat till the end of the row, 1hdc into the last ch1 from the row below. Finish off.

Repeat row 2-4 till you reached the desired length. Every fourth row should be crocheted in the main color. 

Border
Rd 1: 1hdc into every stitch around, with 2hdc into the side of a hdc, 3hdc into the side of a dc, and three hdc into every corner.
Rd 2-5:  1sc into every stitch around, with three sc into every corner.
