Crochet Christmas Tree Farm Blanket

christmas tree textured triangles blanket

Hey there, Hannah here, after I made my Christmas tree puff hot pads a few weeks ago I realized that I had a lot of Paton’s Alpaca Blend in this pretty green color so I decided to make a tree puffs throw! The blanket is worked the same way as the hot pads, but I used a slightly different stitch for the main part of the blanket and made the puffs a little bit thicker.

In the pattern below, I’ve written out the counts for each row of the first two sets of triangles, but I think you’ll find after you get started that you really only need to count on the bottom rows of the triangles – after you build the base you can visually build the triangles by decreasing one puff on the next puff row. 

Materials

Paton’s Alpaca Blend (100g/3.5oz, 142 m/155 yds)

12 skeins Lagoon

Size J/6mm hook, tapestry needle, scissors

Size

Finished size 42 in x 50 in

Stitches

Herringbone Half Double Crochet (HHDC): Yarn over (YO), insert your hook, YO and pull up a loop and pull directly through first loop on hook. YO and pull through remaining two loops. 

Puff Stitch: YO, insert your hook, YO and pull up a loop, *YO, insert your hook into the same space, YO and pull up a loop. Repeat from * two more times, then YO and pull through all loops on hook. 

Double Crochet (DC): YO, insert your hook, YO and pull up a loop, YO pull through two loops on hook, YO pull through remaining two loops.

Front and Back Post Double Crochet (FPDC & BPDC): A front post double crochet means you insert your hook from front to back around the post of the next DC and work a DC. A back post double crochet means you insert your hook from back to front around the post of the next DC and work a DC.

Border

Round 1: Work one round of HHDC around the blanket, working 3 HHDCs into each corner. On the sides of the blanket, do your best to work one HHDC per row. 

Round 2: When you reach the corner you started with, continue working in the same direction and work a DC into each stitch around the blanket. Work 3 DCs into each corner stitch. 

Round 3: When you reach the corner you started with, continue working in the same direction and work alternating front and back post around each DC. When you reach a corner, work 3 alternating front and back post around the middle DC of the 3 DC that made the corner in the round prior. (In other words, if you get to the corner post and you are supposed to work a FPDC, then work a FPDC, a BPDC, and a FPDC all around that corner post. Then in the next stitch you would continue the alternating pattern, working the opposite of whichever stitch you just used.) 

Rounds 4 – 5: Continue working in same direction and repeat round 2. Always match your post double crochets so that they are poking out in the same direction as the previous row. When you finish the last round of your border, slip stitch into the starting corner and tie off.
