Chain Columns Section

_{Chain Columns Section by Marie Segares/Underground Crafter.}

The Chain Columns Section uses a simple combination of chains and single crochet stitches. It has a gentler texture than bobbles or mock bobbles and is easier to crochet, too.

This pattern is part of the Sectional Blanket Crochet Along, a mystery crochet along for a throw blanket crocheted in 7″ x 9″ (18 cm x 23 cm) sections, the size preferred by our charity partner, Warm Up America. New clues will be released on Fridays through December 16, 2022.

Granny Stitch Section

The granny stitch gives you a nice, yet easy and mindless, stitch pattern. It’s a classic, but still just as pretty as ever!

Double Crunch Stitch Section

The crunch stitch gives you a beautiful texture on both sides of the fabric, making this the perfect rectangle to incorporate into your blankets.

Cluster Stripes Variation Section

The pretty textures in this rectangle are just what every blanket needs. The variegated colors are pretty, but this could also look nice in solids and stripes, depending on your blanket.
