I designed this blanket for Arianna, when she was born. It’s a very easy blanket with repetitive stitch. Originally I was not planning on writing up a pattern for it, but I’ve been asked a few times to make it available. So here you go! A special thank you to Christine for nagging me long enough 
!
Yarn: Light worsted weight yarn in pink (MC), white (CC1), green (CC2). About 600 yds each.
Sample was made using Caron Simply Soft.
Hook: US H/8 (5.00 mm).
Gauge: is not crucial for this project
Notions: yarn needle
Abbreviations:
Ch – chain
Dc – double crochet
Sc – single crochet
Stitch Guide:
Cluster: (2 dc, ch 2, sc) in specified st
Pattern
With MC, ch 125 (or another multiple of 4+5 sts).
Row 1: Cluster (see Stitch Guide) in 4th ch from hook and every 4th ch across, dc in last ch, turn – 30 clusters.
Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc), cluster in each ch-2-sp (middle of cluster from a previous row) across, dc in turning ch-3, turn.
Repeat Row 2 – [2 times in CC1, 2 times in CC2, 4 times in MC, 2 times in CC1, 2 times in CC2, 2 times in MC] 4 times.
Fasten off CC1 and CC2.

This is a lovely pattern. I like this stitch. Question: Did you fasten off between color changes? Or did you carry the yarn up?

Hi Brenda,
great question.
I usually carry unused yarn up and then hide yarn floats with a row of single crochet.
Thank you,
Anastasia.

I enjoyed making this blanket but could not figure out how to do a hat in the pattern…any suggestions?

Hi Sheron,
do you mean that you would like to make a hat that uses this stitch pattern?
Theoretically, make a crown in any stitch of your choice (sc, hdc, or dc) with last row of crown been multiple of 4 stitches. Then (with minor tweaking), work 1st row of blanket.
Or you can just make a square hat and gather stitches at the top for a crown.
Hope it helps,
Anastasia.
