What is inside the pattern?

English written instructions in US crochet terms for square and rectangular versions, with right-handed charts, construction diagrams and yarn-planning guidance.

A supplementary mirrored chart file is available for left-handed crocheters. It is a visual aid used alongside the main written pattern, not a separate set of instructions.

Is this the right project for me?

Confident beginner with experience reading crochet repeats. The blanket combines open fans and arches with corner-to-corner shaping, then finishes with an edging.

Move between increase, straight and decrease sections to form the chosen shape. The repetitive stitch pattern still needs attention when changing shaping sections.

Finished size & fit

Choose your own dimensions. Blocked samples: small square 33.5 × 33.5 cm; baby-blanket square 81.5 × 81.5 cm; rectangular lap throw 71.5 × 103 cm.

The short-side width determines when shaping changes. Yarn weight, gauge and your chosen dimensions affect the amount of yarn required.

Materials you will need

Fingering/sock yarn around 400 m per 100 g, plus a 3 mm crochet hook or the size needed for your preferred fabric.

Sample quantities: small square approximately 224 m, including 46 g for the body and 10 g for the border. Baby square approximately 1,212 m, including 273 g body and 30 g border. Rectangular lap throw approximately 1,320 m total, worked across four gradient colours.

These sample weights use yarn at approximately 400 m per 100 g. Keep yarn aside for the border; a different yarn or larger blanket will change the requirement.

Wave Blanket Crochet Pattern

One motif, more than one kind of blanket

Work a solid square to let the open fans stand out, or use colour changes to draw diagonal waves across a rectangular throw. The geometry comes from how you shape the piece rather than from sewing motifs together.

The adjustable format works for a small table accent as well as a lap blanket. Choose a use and a finished size before deciding how much yarn to set aside.

Grow the shape, then finish the edge

The blanket is crocheted seamlessly on the bias. Start with the increasing section, change direction according to square or rectangular instructions, and decrease toward the final corner.

The edging gives the openwork a defined finish. Reserve that yarn while working the body so the last step remains part of the plan.

A few things to gather.

Check your yarn, tools and gauge before you begin.

How do I receive my pattern?

After payment, download from the order confirmation page or the link in your email. Contact us if you cannot find your file.

What is the refund policy?

Digital purchases are generally non-refundable. If you bought a duplicate or have a problem with your pattern, contact us and we will help.

Can I make a rectangle rather than a square?

Yes. Both shapes are covered. Choose when to move between increasing, straight and decreasing sections to set the proportions.

Are the left-handed charts full written instructions?

No. They mirror the charts for visual use and should be used alongside the main English pattern, which contains the written directions, materials and notes.
