New baby in the family means it is time for a new blanket pattern! There are still several months before my nephew arrives, but it’s never too early to start making him crochet gifts, because that is how I roll.
That was all the back story anyone really has the patience to read, so onward to the pattern buttercup!

To find the tutorial for this pattern, type this into the search bar on YouTube: Sebastian’s Blanket, Mode Bespoke
Yarn and hook: I used 4 skeins of medium weight yarn for this blanket, but you can use whatever yarn weight and hook combination you prefer. Consult your yarn label for a suitable hook size if you choose to use a different weight. The colors I used were gold, grey, ivory, and emerald.
Yarn Specs:
Weight: Size 4, Medium
Skein Weight: 7 oz. / 200 g
Yardage: 392 yd. / 358 m
Construction: Your initial chain determines the width of your blanket, and each row adds to the length.
Multiples/Resizing: 16 + 2
I chained 114 stitches total (7 multiples of 16, plus 2)
General Notes for sizing: To make the blanket wider, simply add more multiples of 16, until your chain reaches your desired width.
To make the blanket longer, add more rows, until you reach your desired length.
Note: You will need to adjust your yarn quantities if you resize the pattern.

Pattern:
In gold (or color 1), chain 114:
Row 1: SC 2 stitches in the second chain from your hook. See photo above.
*SC into each of the next 7 chains. Skip the next chain, then SC into each of the following 7 chains. SC 3 stitches into the next chain.
Repeat from * until you complete the row. SC 2 into the last stitch of the chain.
Row 2: CH 1, turn your work around.
SC 2 stitches in the second stitch from your hook. *FSC into each of the next 7 stitches. Skip the next 2 stitches, then FSC into each of the following 7 stitches. SC 3 stitches into the next stitch.
Repeat from * until you complete the row. SC 2 into the last stitch of the chain.
Row 3: Repeat Row 2 until you reach the last stitch of the row. In the last stitch: SC, then CSC and change yarn color to ivory (or color 2).
See photo above.
The rest of the blanket is a repetition of Row 2, changing colors as desired. If you want to crochet the same color stripping/sequence I did, here is the row count breakdown for the blanket:
With that particular striping sequence, I completely ran out of green yarn, there was enough gold, ivory, and grey to make several more rows if I would have wanted to add a little length and make a square blanket.
