Table of contents
Product Overview
The Deep Reflection Blanket is a beautifully designed crochet project that utilizes the tapestry crochet method to create intricate, multi-colored patterns. This blanket is worked flat from end to end, with a decorative border added upon completion. The finished dimensions of the blanket are approximately 50 inches in width by 62 inches in length.
Materials and Preparation
To create this blanket, you will need Premier Yarns Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted yarn. The project requires five specific colors: Aran (C1), Black (C2), Glass (C3), Lake (C4), and Deep Teal (C5). You will also need a US Size I-9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends. It is essential to check your gauge before beginning to ensure the final dimensions match the pattern specifications. The required gauge is 14 single crochet stitches by 13 rows to equal 4 inches.
Techniques and Methods
The pattern incorporates several fundamental crochet techniques, including chain, single, half-double, and double crochet stitches. You will also use front post double crochet, as well as front loop and back loop stitches. The tapestry method is used for specific sections, which involves holding two strands of yarn together and crocheting over the color not currently in use. When switching colors, ensure you work the last pull-through with the new color to maintain a clean transition. The pattern relies on color charts; remember to read odd-numbered rows from right to left and even-numbered rows from left to right.
Construction and Finishing
The blanket is constructed by following a series of rows that alternate between standard stitches and tapestry colorwork. Detailed row-by-row instructions are provided, guiding you through the color changes and stitch patterns. Once the main body of the blanket is complete, a border is worked around the entire piece to provide a polished edge. After finishing the border, weave in all loose ends securely and block the blanket lightly to ensure the stitches lay flat and the pattern is clearly defined.

Common problems
Gauge does not match
Adjust your hook size until you achieve the required gauge of 14 sc x 13 rows = 4 inches.
