Bold stripes and Cluster V-stitches are the perfect pair in this crochet blanket! This is a simple repetitive pattern that works up quickly. Make it as long/wide as you’d like and the color combination possibilities are endless!
Materials:
– Worsted Weight Yarn. I used Loops & Threads Impeccable in Aran, Lavender, and Amethyst.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
Abbreviations:
How to Make the Cluster V-Stitch PLEASE NOTE that I only made one chain in my cluster v-stitches instead of 2 chains.
DC = Double Crochet
SC = Single Crochet
Finished Size: approx 36×36 inches
Starting with Lavender yarn
Chain 113 (93 for smaller and 133, 153, or 173 for larger.)
Row 1: Cluster V-stitch in 4th chain from hook, *skip 2 chains, Cluster V-stitch in next chain, repeating from * the rest of the way down chain, DC in the last Chain, Chain 3, turn.
Row 2: Cluster V-stitch in each of the Cluster V-stitches from previous row, DC in last chain of your chain 3, Chain 3, turn.
Row 3: Same as Row 2.
Row 4: Same as Row 2 with Aran color yarn.
Row 5-6: Same as Row 2 with Amethyst color yarn.
Row 7: Same as Row 2 with Aran color yarn.
Row 8-10: Same as Row 2 with Lavender color yarn.
Continue to repeat pattern.
Your color changes should look like this:
3 rows of Lavender, 1 row of Aran, 2 rows of Amethyst, 1 row of Aran.
I made a total of 7 dark purple stripes. A total of 52 rows. Fasten off and weave in all ends when finished.
Shell Stitch Border: Starting in the middle of the purple stripe on the rough edge.
Rough edge is where you see the color changes. Smooth edge is the top and bottom where the stitches are all in purple.
Join yarn and make a SC, now reaching your hook to the corner, make 7 DC in the corner. Now working on smooth edge. Skip one Cluster V-stitch and SC to join to middle of next Cluster V-stitch, *make 7 DC in the next Cluster V-stitch, SC to next Cluster V-stitch, repeat from * down smooth edge. Make 7 DC in the corner.
Now you will be working on the rough edge. Your shell stitches will only be on the Aran color stripes. SC in the middle of lavender row, 7 DC all in one stitch on the end of Aran stripe, SC in the middle of Amethyst row, 7 DC all in one stitch in the Aran stripe, SC in the middle of Lavender row, repeat down edge.
Continue shell stitch along remaining two edges following instructions for rough edge and smooth edge.
I also made a matching Cluster V-stitch hat! Pattern by BobWilson123. You can find the video tutorial HERE and the written pattern HERE. I added two rounds of SC on the bottom and earflaps. Flower pattern can be found HERE.

So the stitch is the same thru out the blanket, I guess when using the white or “Aron” color it makes it look like a ripple or chevron stitch. I really like this and it looks simple enough to do. Even for someone like me who is still very much still stuck in beginning phase of crocheting. I can’t seem to do anything but blankets and scarfs. Hats are the worse for me. Can’t figure out the pattern and I don’t have anyone to show me. Thanks for sharing the pattern with us. I can’t wait to try it out. You give me inspiration that some day I can be advanced enough to maybe someday sell the work I make.
I love the colour combination it makes it look luxurious without a doubt. Do you have any tips on how you keep it looking exactly the same size throughout? My tension is loose and I adjust for this even counting the number of stitches per row and yet it always looks slightly misshaped.
How many skeins did you use?
I started this yesterday with the same colors and all and I’ve just started the border. I LOVE how it turned out! Thanks so much for the pattern Sarah!!
Love this pattern and your colors are beautiful. I’ve found my next project !!! Would you please tell me about how many skeins of yarn this requires? Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!
How many skeins of each color did you use?
How many skeins do you need for 153 and 173 chains? Thank you.
This is a beautiful afghan. I want to make it in blue and white for my teenage son. Do you know how I can figure out how many skeins of yarn I’ll need? I don’t crochet much and am not sure how to figure it out. Thanks for all your wonderful patterns. I’m going to try your snowman bags too.
Hi there, happy new year!
Has any of the December posters given it a go and know how many skeins to use?
Thanks
I love this pattern and am currently making an afghan. How would you suggest weaving in all the loose thread ends? The v-stitch pattern doesn’t leave much for weaving in loose thread? Thanks for your help and thanks for the beautiful pattern.
How many chains did you start with to make it 36X36 inches ?
I can’t seem to find the pattern you linked for the hat! Beautiful colors I love how these look together.
Hi love this pattern but I am having trouble locating the pattern for the hat. Also if you have a pattern for a matching baby sweater that would be great! Willing to pay for the patterns!

In the tutorial on how to make the V-stitch cluster, it says that the starting chain should be a multiple of three. In this blanket pattern, you give instructions for making a larger blanket with chain numbers that are not multiples of three. Why is that? Which is the correct thing to do? Do I follow the instructions in the pattern or the tutorial?
Thank you so much for this pattern, I made this for my nephew which he’s been waiting for many years.
Why are none of the questions/comments not answered? It is important to know how much yarn to purchase and that asked been asked several times with no replies.
I would like to make one even larger than 173 chains. What multiple should I use?
Thanks!
Sarah, you are AMAZING!!! I have several of your patterns. I made one for the daughter of a friend going off to college. She LOVES it. I look for different, easy stitches and how they are put together. A cluster V stitch adds a little je ne sais quoi. Thank you for sharing.
This is the great idea to make the striped-blanket-with-shell-border. I am waiting for the next article.
This is adorable, but it looks as though none of us are going to get a response for the cute elf hat. I have many “elf hat” tute’s on google and on youtube, but this one is really cute
If you’re going to post articles, common decency should have you answering questions. Shame on you!
this is a great idea
