Pokeblanket
A one-of-a-kind Pokemon blanket by Trish Rice
This blanket is truly one of a kind. When I got the idea, I scoured the internet for an existing pattern and couldn't find anything like it! It is unique! The red is darker than the standard pokeball because I don't want to be blinded every time I look at this, but you can use whatever shade you like. Materials: Jhook One pound skein each of white (w) and red (R) worsted acrylic Two (2) one pound skeins of black (B) worsted acrylic. Stitches: chain, double crochet Shell (sh) = 2dc in dc space Colorwork is done in intarsia. Gauge: 6 shells = 5" and 7 rows = 4". (I know 5" isn't standard but I like round numbers.) Finished size is approximately 50" X 40" and moderately stretchy. With B chain 123. Row 1: 2 dc in 3rd ch from hook, (sk next ch, 2dc in next ch) 59 times. (120 dc) last ch. Ch 2, turn.

I provide the chart here for those who prefer charts, but I only loosely followed it and some tweaking needs to be done to account for the alternation of the shells in order to keep symmetry. (Sorry that the graph lines don't show up on the black.) Divide ruler numbers by 5 to get the number of shells. (ruler 50 = 10 shells)
