I finally have enough blanket to show off along with an idea of what stitches I’m using for this one. I’m using a combination of double crochet and what’s called a rib stitch, which is basically either double or single crochet but instead of going through both loops you go through the back one. This creates a rib or 3D affect, which is pretty cool looking. I like the dimension created by this stitch, but I thought doing the entire blanket in it would be a little too much, so I came up with the following alternating pattern of stitches: *2 double rib rows, 10 single rib rows, 2 double rib rows, 10 double crochet rows, and then repeat from *.
It took me awhile the get the tension right between getting used to the rib stitch as well as the yarn I’m using, which is super soft and has a tiny thread of a ribbon type fiber going through it. I’m not thrilled with the first few rows, but hopefully, when I’ve finished it, washed, and then blocked the blanket, it will look okay.
