I love the simple design of my "Christmas" Blanket using Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Cherry Red, White and Hunter Green and a 6.0mm hook.
Special Note:
1. I worked my pattern as follows: 6 rows in white, 6 rows in green, 6 rows in red until my blanket measured 64" long. I started and ended in white.
2. I used HDC st for the blanket, however, you could use DC st to make it bigger.
This blanket worked up over the course of 4-5 days, with me only working on it 2-3 hours per day. I was sick in bed and had to do something with my hands. This would make a wonderful gift in any trio of coordinating colors and can be made in no time.
It measures approximately 40" wide x 64" long.

Directions:
With white yarn:
With white yarn:
1. Ch101. HDC in 2nd ch from hook and across. Ch1 and turn. Or, FHDC 100. If you want your blanket wider than 40", then start with a bigger ch. (100)
2. 1 HDC in each st across. Ch1 and turn. (100)
3. 3 HDC in first st. Ch2, sk 2 st. 3 HDC in next st. Rep across. 1 HDC in last st. Ch1 and turn. (100)
4. 3 HDC in each Ch2 space of previous row. 1 HDC in last st. Ch1 and turn. (100)
5-6. 1 HDC in each st across. Ch1 and turn. (100)
Now, switch to green yarn:
7-8. 1 HDC in each st across. Ch1 and turn. (100)
9-10. Rep #3 and 4. (100)
11-12. 1 HDC in each st across. Ch1 and turn. (100)
Now, switch to red yarn:
13-14. 1 HDC in each st across. Ch1 and turn. (100)
15-16. Rep #3 and 4. (100)
17-18. 1 HDC in each st across. Ch1 and turn. (100)
Continue to alternate colors, completing 6 rows per color until you reach your desired length. I started with white yarn and ended mine in white yarn.
Border:
1-2. With white yarn, 1 HDC in each st around, placing 3 HDC st in each corner. Sl st join to first st and Ch1.
3. I held red and white yarn together. 1 DC in each st around, placing 3 DC st in each corner. Sl st join to first st and FO. Weave ends.
Quick, simple and so pretty. I really love the way it turned out. I made this for a special someone and I can't wait to give it to them for Christmas....
