Rise and Set Blanket Pattern

By April Gopwani of OTH Crochet Nook
April Gopwani’s Rise and Set Blanket is inspired by the warm tones of the rising and setting sun. The pattern uses a colourwork chart to create the beautiful circular sun motif.  The fringing details add movement and additional texture.

The pattern is part of our By Hook Crochet Collection and is also available as a kit that includes the PDF pattern, 10 hanks of The Fibre Co. Luma yarn, 2 hanks of The Fibre Co. Meadow yarn and a free project bag. Looking to find out more about the designer, their inspiration, and their design process? You can read our interview with the designer via our website blog here.

YARN:

• 7 hanks of The Fibre Co. Luma Flamingo
• 4 hanks of The Fibre Co. Luma Blanca
• 2 hanks of The Fibre Co. Meadow Buttercup (used doubled)

CONSTRUCTION NOTES:
The Blanket is worked in rows of double crochet, following a Chart for the colour changes over the central ‘sun’ portion. Chart is worked from bottom up, and each square represents 1 dc stitch. Read RS rows from right to left, and WS rows from left to right. Change colour mid-row in the last yoh of the previous st.

Buttercup (C) is held doubled throughout.

For the lower half of the blanket and yarns A and B, the three-row colour repeat means that you will need to fasten off each yarn after the colour change. For the upper half, carry the yarn up the side of the work.
