Day Trips and Beautiful Tiles
This week’s instalment of the 2022 crochet blanket is coming to you a little later on Sunday as I have been taking advantage of the nice weather here in Durham. It has been scorching so we took ourselves off to Ushaw College chapels and grounds. We enjoyed going around the grounds, in particularly the wooded area that offered us some shade and a cute photo opportunity for the blanket.
The chapels were amazing and very ornate, including some absolutely wonderful tiling, which I think may one day become granny squares designs – what you think?
Anyway have fun crocheting the next rounds!
This week, we are adding a lacey cream edging to the suns – almost a way of signaling the end of the heat wave!

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
Special stitches
Bphtr – back post half treble
Ch – chain
Htr – half treble
Tr – treble
