Blanket Foundation
With cream yarn:

Continue working across the row while keeping the edges straight.
Pastel Stripes
Change colors to create the vertical stripe effect shown in the reference.
Use:
- Cream
- Dusty pink

- Muted blue
- Taupe
Work each color in long sections while keeping the stitch pattern consistent.
Change colors neatly at the edges.
Continue until the blanket reaches the desired length.
Textured Stitch Pattern
Work the main blanket using a raised crochet stitch that creates the soft vertical texture.
Keep your tension even so the columns remain straight.
Repeat the stitch pattern across each color section.
Continue alternating the pastel shades throughout the blanket.
Cream Border
With cream yarn:
Work sc evenly around all four sides of the blanket.
Place extra stitches at each corner to keep the border flat.
Continue for several rounds to create a substantial outer edge.
Scalloped Border
For the decorative bottom edge, use cream yarn.
Work groups of stitches along the edge to create rounded textured scallops.
Repeat the pattern across the entire bottom edge.
Keep each scallop approximately the same size.
FO and weave in the ends.
Border Corners
At each corner, work additional stitches as needed to maintain the shape.
Make sure the corners remain smooth and do not curl.
Continue the textured edging around the remaining sides.
Finishing
Weave in all loose yarn ends.
Gently stretch and shape the blanket so the stripes are straight.
Check the border and adjust any uneven scallops.
Lightly block the blanket if necessary according to the yarn’s care instructions.
Allow it to dry completely before using.
The finished blanket features soft pastel vertical stripes with a thick cream border and beautiful rounded textured edging.
