Let’s start with the basics. This blanket is made up of double crochet stitches. I have zoomed in on a single triangle to show you that it is made up 5 rows starting from the bottom you will have 9 double crochet stitches, the next row 7, then 5, then 3, then 1 to make your triangle. As you carry your yarn through you will use color changes to create each triangle. So one triangle will start from the bottom up (9 DC, 7 DC, 5 DC, 3 DC, 1 DC) and the one next to it will be upside down (1 DC, 7 DC, 5, 3 DC, 1 DC). The edges will be half triangles. It will all make sense when you get through the first 5 rows!
You will need to carry your yarn through your project!

Use yellow and charcoal for the next 5 rows!
Repeat rows 1-5 with yellow and charcoal (Row 1 will start with DC in the first 5 because you aren’t on your starting chain anymore)
Repeat rows 6-10with blue and orange
continue for as many rows as you’d like!
My finished blanket is 35 x35 inches. You may want to make yours longer!
Add tassels to the 4 corners if desired!
Started this project two years ago! Feels good to finish an old work-in-progress!
