Romantic Rose Blanket

This blanket consists of the main part and lace trim. The main part is knit as one vertical column. After finishing  4 columns, you will have 4 separate pieces that need to be sewn together. Once sewn, pick up stitches separately to crochet 4 lace trims. Finally, sew lining fabric onto the wrong side of the blanket.

Note: 1. This pattern is making in Chinese crochet pattern terms, and the stitch name is written using American terminology. All measurements in charts are in cm. 
2. The chart represent the right side of fabric, so check the key to see how to work a certain symbol on the right side and on the wrong side.

Part 1 The Main Part

The main part is worked in a single vertical column (for example, after completing piece A, continue with piece B without breaking the yarn). Both casting on and binding off are done using the main color. All pieces are worked back and forth, with the wrong side stitches being the opposite of those shown in the chart. There are four columns total, and upon completion, you will have four strips of fabric. Align these four strips horizontally and sew them together using the mattress stitch, picking up and aligning the edge stitches for an invisible seam.

Part 2 Lace Trim

After sewing, pick up stitches along one side of the entire piece, matching one stitch to another or one row to one stitch. Then work 9 rows of washing board stitch . After finishing, bind off by tucking in stitches. Repeat this process separately for all 4 sides.

Note: For the first lace trim, pick up stitches and crochet as usual. For the remaining three lace trims, when you reach the corner of the blanket, pick up stitches along the side of the finished lace trim, matching one stitch to one row to complete the corner.
