You Are My Sunshine

***Pattern Notes*** This pattern is worked right to left, turning after each row. It is all one piece. Each 28-row ‘panel’ is marked in the pattern so you can change colors there if you like. Left-hand hook holders follow this pattern as written, no changes are needed! If you consult the graph, remember to read right to left on odd rows & left to right on even rows. A graph for this pattern can be found in a separate file. The graph is read right to left on odd rows, and left to right on even rows (even if you are crocheting left handed). This pattern can be made with any weight yarn & hook, but the finished size is approximately 37x41 inches (94x104cm) using the yarn weight & hook listed below. This pattern can only be made larger or smaller by changing your yarn weight and hook size. ***Yarn & Supplies*** 4.5mm Hook Stitch Markers Blanket Body Total: 1,127 yards (1,030 meters) DK yarn Per panel: 382 yards (350 meters) DK yarn Initial SC Edging: 40 yards (36 meters) DK yarn Border 3 Granny Rounds: 234 yards total / 78 yards per round (216 meters total / 72 per round) DK yarn Shell Round: 69 yards (63 meters) DK yarn Stitch Abbreviations & Techniques ~ US Crochet Terms ***Stitches*** st(s) - stitch(es)  sk - skip ch - chain  slst - slip stitch sc - single crochet dc - double crochet GC - Granny Cluster: 3dc in same stitch GCD - Granny Cluster Decrease: dc in st, dc2tog starting in the same st as previous dc and ending in the next st, then make another dc into same st the dc2tog finished in - you should have a 3dc “granny cluster” that is spread over 2 sc sts.
