Blanket “Oscar”
Crochet a nice and warm wool blanket.
This blanket is thick and will definitely keeps you warm. It is perfect for babies or for children, but if you want a larger project, it can of course be crocheted in any size. The blanket is made in puff squares and with a nice edge around. You will need MYO Basic Wool and crochet hook 6 mm. The blanket in the picture is approx. 58 x 70 cm.
Yarn Consumption: Of the white (squares and interlacing), it takes about 410 g each year and of the beige (edge) about 40 g is needed.
Note that we in this instruction uses videos from out technique library. If you are looking for a full instruction video for a crocheted blanket, we suggest the blanket Gabriella.

Here's how to do it
We start by crocheting all the squares and then crochet the edge of the blanket. It becomes thick and warm and therefore it becomes relatively heavy if it is crocheted in adult size. But, of course, you can decide for yourself what size of blanket you want. /Lizette

We start by crocheting 20 puff squares. The squares measure approximately 13-14 cm, but this may vary if you crochet tighter than I do. The measurements of the blanket are based on the squares being around 13-14 cm in size.
PUFF SQUARE
Below is a video on how to crochet all the steps of the puff square.
Round 1: Crochet a magic ring. Start with 2 chain stitches and then crochet 8 puff stitches with 1 chain stitch between each puff. Finish the round with a slip stitch in the first puff stitch.
Round 2: Slip stitch until you reach the next "hole." This hole will be the first corner. Crochet 1 chain stitch, 1 puff stitch, 3 chain stitches, and 1 puff stitch in the same hole. In the next hole, crochet 1 puff stitch and 1 chain stitch. Repeat this (one corner and one side alternately). This means you will have four corners when you finish the round. End with a slip stitch in the first puff stitch.
Round 3: Crochet 1 slip stitch to get into the hole in the corner. Crochet 1 chain stitch, 1 puff stitch, 3 chain stitches, and 1 puff stitch in the corner. Then there are two holes on the side before you reach the next corner. In these, crochet 1 puff stitch and 1 chain stitch. When you reach the corner, crochet as you did in the first corner. Continue all the way around. Finish with a slip stitch in the first puff stitch.
Round 4: Chain 1. Then crochet 2 single crochets in each hole between the puffs, and 1 single crochet in each puff stitch. In the corners, crochet 4 half double crochets. Continue until you return to the start. Finish with a slip stitch in the first stitch.
If you find that your square is too small, you can continue to crochet 1-2 rounds of single crochets on the square.
Stretch the squares so that the corners become visible and the stitches settle correctly. If you want to block your squares, you can choose to do that. I skipped this step.
ASSEMBLY
Once you have your 20 squares completed, you will join all the squares together. There are different techniques for joining squares; if you're unsure how to do it, see the video below.
Place two squares with the wrong sides facing each other and crochet them together. Use slip stitches in the loops on the squares that are closest to you (on each square). When you reach the end, take two more squares and join them with the first two. Continue until you have joined 8 squares.
After joining all squares in one direction, join all in the opposite direction.
Finally, weave in all yarn ends. If you're unsure how to do this, see the video below.

ROUND 1 - around the blanket
If you do not want a wavy edge around the blanket, you can choose to crochet just the first rounds with single crochet.
Crochet two rounds of single crochet/half double crochet around the blanket first. Start in a corner, crocheting 3 single crochets in each corner (corner stitch) and then one single crochet in each stitch. If, like me, there are dips where the squares are joined, you can crochet 3 half double crochets instead of single crochets in those spots to make the edge more even.
Repeat exactly the same for a total of two rounds.

THE BOARDER
Now we will crochet the border around the blanket, which will be a bit wavy. If you are unsure how to do this, look at the video below.
You should have an even number of stitches, but if, like me, you haven't count, that's fine too. The last wave will be made "half" if you have an uneven number.
Start with a slip knot and go into a stitch. In the same stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, then yarn over and pull up a loop in the next stitch. You should have 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all loops.
Crochet 1 chain stitch. Then crochet 1 half double crochet around your chain stitch. Go down into the next two stitches and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through all.
Crochet 1 chain stitch and then 1 half double crochet in the space between this "wave" and the previous "wave."
If you have an odd number of stitches, you will see at the end that there is 1 stitch left and not 2. In that case, just go into one stitch and pull up a loop instead of two.
Finish with a slip stitch in the first stitch.
You have now completed your blanket! :)
