This super cute and squishy soft blanket is my, “Buttercup Michelin Baby Blanket.” The appliqué is Bib himself!!! I designed this blanket for one of my hubby's co-workers, and, of course, they work for Michelin. So, I decided to use a soft yellow, blue and white yarns to complete this project.
I used Hobby Lobby’s, “I Love This Yarn,” and a 6.0 mm hook to complete this.
Size: Approximately 30" x 36"
Materials:
--6.0mm hook
--"I Love This Yarn" in Buttercup (3 skeins), Navy (1 skein) and White (1 skein)
--tapestry needle for weaving
U.S. Stitch Abbreviations:
Ch: chain
Sl st: slip stitch
St: stitch(es)
SC: single crochet
HDC: half double crochet
HHDC: herringbone half double crochet
PS: popcorn stitch
Sk: skip
Rep: repeat
Y/O: yarn over
FO: fasten off
Note: I love using the HHDC stitch, however, you can simply use the HDC stitch. I think the HHDC creates a beautiful texture. Below, I have shared the link to my short video tutorial on Youtube to help with learning this stitch...
Special Stitches:
1. HHDC Stitch: y/o and insert hook into stitch, y/o and draw back thru the stitch, then pull thru first loop on hook, y/o and pull remaining 2 loops on the hook thru. Here's a LINK to my video tutorial of the HHDC stitch...
2. Popcorn Stitch (PS): 4 SC stitches into same stitch, remove hook from last loop and insert hook (front to back) into first SC st. Then join hook back into 4th loop and pull loop through to secure.
Directions:
1. Ch 101. HHDC into 2nd ch from hook and across. Ch1 and turn. (100)
2. 1 HHDC into each st across. Ch1 and turn. (100)
3-74. Rep #2. At the end of Row 74, FO and weave ends. (100)
Border:
1. Join Navy yarn with a sl st and Ch 1 into any st. SC in same st. SC around, placing 3 SC in each corner. Sl st join to first st and FO. Weave ends.
2. Join White yarn with a sl st and Ch 1. 1 HHDC in each st around. 3 HHDC in each corner. Sl st join to first st and Ch1.
