Hi Fast Kitty Friends! I am so excited to be back and posting a new pattern! Fall is just around the corner, so now is the perfect time to make this light and lacy (and the perfect amount of cozy) unique crochet throw blanket. The pattern features some new stitches you may have never tried before! The alternating rows of "diamonds" and "pearls" make this pattern stunning to look at, and fun to make!

R1- Using size I/5.5mm hook, chain 230. Turn chain over, in second chain from hook place exsc. *Ch 1, skip next chain, exsc in next chain. Repeat from * across chain, ending with exsc in last chain.
Rows 2-3 Chain 1, turn, exsc in first stitch. *Ch 1, skip ch space, exsc in next stitch. Repeat from * across row, ending with exsc in last stitch.
R4- Chain 1, sc in first stitch. *Chain 4, skip 3 stitches, sc in next stitch (You're skipping a ch1 sp, exsc, ch1 sp). Repeat from * across row, ending with a sc in last stitch.
Rows 5-6 Ch 1, turn, sc in first stitch. *Chain 3, skip chain 4 space, sc in next stitch. Repeat from * across row, ending with a sc in last stitch.

R8- Ch 1, turn hdc puff stitch in first stitch. Chain 4, skip next [ch 2 sp, sl st, ch 2 sp] from previous row, hdc puff st in next sc (the top of the "diamond").
Rows 9-10 Ch 1, turn, sc in first stitch. *Chain 3, skip chain 4 space, sc in next stitch. Repeat from * across row, ending with a sc in last stitch.

Rows 14-15 Repeat rows 2 & 3.
Now, just repeat rows 4 - 15 until you reach desired width for your blanket. My blanket was 9 pattern repeats. Finish off!
*Note: I had run out of the darker teal color yarn, so I added 2 different colors along the sides. I recommend you change colors at a row 4 of pattern if you like the stripe effect.
I liked my blanket as-is with no border added.
