Told you it was easy! And don’t you love the braid? Now, if you are a first-timer to using blanket yarn, please do a sample swatch and get your personal tension worked out. However, it looks nice to make the last row be the HDC row. Repeat rows 2 and 3 until your blanket is 40 inches wide, or however wide you choose. Row 3: Work 1 HDC into the back loop of each stitch across the row. Chain 2 and turn, (this chain 2 never counts as a stitch either.) Row 2: Work 1 HDSS in the back loop of each stitch across. Row 1: Starting in the 3rd chain from the hook, work 1 HDC into each chain across. Also, work into the back bumps on the chain. PatternĬhain 122, (or if you prefer, chain any number to reach 60 inches, or any length you choose.) Keep this chain fairly snug, or use a hook one size smaller. Half Double Crochet (HDC): YO, insert your hook, YO and pull up a loop, YO and pull through three loops on hook.

Here is how it’s made: say you made a chain, you will yarn over once, just like you are doing a half double crochet, insert your hook into the back loop, yarn over one more time and pull through all the loops on your hook, just like a slip stitch. I like that name too! Much easier to say, but again, I’m not sure it’s official. Although, I had a follower on Instagram suggest that she has seen it called double slip stitch. I can’t find an official name for it so I call it by the actions I am taking: Back Loop Only Half Double Slip Stitch (HDSS). It’s only two stitches and leaves you with a nice braid look across the blanket.Īren’t those braids, or V’s so pretty? Would you believe it’s a simple change to a slip stitch? It’s a great stitch to know. Step 5: Finish the repeat by chaining enough to get to the next pom pom (or as indicated in pattern).I do love a nice chenille blanket throw and this crochet pom pom blanket was fast and really easy. Step 4: Insert hook into the same stitch that you worked your FIRST cluster and make a slip stitch, bringing the two clusters together to form two halves of a ball – fig 74. Step 3: Working into the TOP of the last cluster, make another dc3tog. Step 2: Ch 2, to gain height for the second cluster.

For this example I’m placing them on chain spaces, but you can place them anywhere as long as you work the chain 2 to start as indicated in Step 1. The pompom stitch uses two clusters of double crochet stitches stacked on top of each other to form a round ball which makes a fun border decoration. That was when I came up with the border design which would eventually trim the Mehndi Halter Top and Plus Size Mehndi patterns, and now again in my latest halter top as well!Īnyway, it’s time I published the Pom Pom Stitch Tutorial here on the blog for everyone to try, and I’ve got a brand new demo video to go along with it – you can watch at the bottom of the post after the written and photo tutorial which starts now!
