🧵 Materials

• 2 yarn colors (Color A & Color B)
• Crochet hook (3–4 mm)
• Scissors, needle

---

🟦 PART 1: Foundation Chain

Step 1:

• Chain multiple of 2 + 1

👉 This is key for the block pattern alignment

---

🟦 PART 2: Row 1 (Base Row – Color A)

1. Start with Color A
2. Work:
   • 1 single crochet (sc) in each chain across
3. Turn

✔ Creates clean foundation

---

🟦 PART 3: Row 2 (Start Pattern – Color A)

1. Ch 3 (counts as dc), turn

Repeat across:

• Skip 1 stitch
• 1 dc in next stitch
• ch 1

👉 Repeat:
(dc, ch 1, skip 1)

Finish:

• 1 dc in last stitch

✔ Creates even spaces (grid base)

---

🟦 PART 4: Row 3 (Introduce Color B ⭐)

👉 Change to Color B

1. Ch 3, turn

In each ch-1 space:

• Work 2 dc
• ch 1

Repeat across

👉 End:

• 1 dc in last stitch

✔ This fills spaces and creates block texture

---

🟦 PART 5: Row 4 (Return to Color A)

👉 Switch back to Color A

1. Ch 3, turn

Repeat:

• 1 dc in space between dc groups
• ch 1

👉 Work between stitches (not into top loops)

✔ This creates the offset effect

---

🟦 PART 6: Row 5 (Color B Again)

👉 Change to Color B

1. Ch 3, turn

Repeat:

• 2 dc in each ch space
• ch 1

✔ Same as Row 3

🔁 PART 7: Pattern Repeat

Repeat:

• Row 4 (Color A)
• Row 5 (Color B)

🌟 WHAT IS HAPPENING (Important Insight)

• Create open mesh (dc + ch)

✔ Color B rows:

• Fill spaces with 2 dc groups

👉 This creates:
🌈 two-color woven/block effect

---

🟦 PART 8: Edge Control (Important in Video)

• Always place last dc into top of turning chain
• Keep edges straight by counting stitches

---

🟦 PART 9: Size Adjustment

• Make front & back panels
• Join shoulders and sides

For blanket:

• Extend rows

For bag:

• Fold rectangle and seam sides

---

🟦 PART 10: Border (Optional)
