Crocheting Like A Queen

Happy Jubilee weekend for everyone who is celebrating. With both my partner and I being self-employed, this celebration sneaked up on us (without the thought of an extra day off, we didn’t have it our calendars and as it turned out deadlines forced us to work). We did however get into the spirit somewhat with a nice afternoon tea with my parents and spotting some yarn bombed post boxes with crocheted queens taking centre stage. I am in awe at those who create these fantastic yarn bombs as they definitely spread a lot of joy! I also got in some quality crochet time today, so at least felt that I was crocheting like a queen.

Pattern notes

The pattern is written using UK terminology, for a conversion chart to US terminology click this link

The blanket is worked in the round. You do not need to turn your work after each row and you continue working in the same direction as before. 

[Stitches written in brackets like this are all worked into the same stitch.]

For the first stitch on each row: Chain 1 to move up to the next round if the round starts with double crochet. Chain 2 if the round starts with a half treble crochet, and chain 3 if the round starts with a treble crochet. These chains count as the first stitch in the row
