Inconsistent PatternĪ crochet blanket like the Solas Caomh by Jodi Euchner that incorporates a pattern that is not consistent across the width or height requires some creativity to modify. You can adjust the size of an afghan worked in a stitch pattern in the same way by working more or fewer repeats of the stitch pattern. A baby blanket of 24″ by 32″ is easily constructed with rows of motifs 3 wide and 4 high. A configuration of 4 motifs wide and 5 motifs high will create a lap afghan that is 32″ by 40″. But what if you want to convert this crochet blanket pattern to a lap afghan size? Pull out your calculator. The original pattern is 5 motifs wide and 6 motifs high. The size of the Moorish Mosaic Afghan by Lisa Naskrent is determined by the main octagonal motif. Crochet Afghan Patterns with Consistent Stitch or MotifsĬrochet afghans that are worked in a specific stitch pattern or are created by joining motifs are constrained in size to the proportions of the stitch pattern or motif. So to create a crochet baby blanket, you would need to work only 69 stitch and 105 rows in the color stripe pattern. This is 2 ¾ single crochet and 3 ½ rows equals 1″. Use the gauge, in this case 11 single crochet and 14 rows equal 4″.
