🗻 Step-by-Step – Big Mountains Blanket

 

1. Foundation (Lower Sky)

  1. Using light blue yarn, chain 120 (or a multiple of 20 for desired width).

  2. Turn and work 1 double crochet (dc) into each stitch across.

  3. Continue with 8 to 10 rows in the same color for the sky section.

 

2. Creating the Mountains – Part 1

  1. Switch to medium gray yarn.

  2. To shape the mountains:

    • Work a repeat of 5 dc followed by 1 dc2tog.

    • Repeat this sequence across the row.

  3. In the next rows, decrease the number of dc between decreases to form triangle peaks:
    (e.g. 4 dc + dc2tog, then 3 dc + dc2tog, and so on).

  4. This creates the triangular mountain shape rising from the base.

 

3. Snowy Peaks

  1. As you near the top of each triangle, switch to white or light gray yarn.

  2. Add 1–2 rows of white at the triangle tips to create a snowy peak effect.

  3. Continue decreasing to finish off the peaks.

 

4. Second Mountain Layer

  1. Below the first mountain range, repeat the same pattern with another color (brown or dark gray) to create a second layer of mountains.

  2. This adds depth and richness to your landscape!

 

5. Night Sky Section

  1. After completing the mountains, switch to dark blue yarn.

  2. Crochet another 8 to 10 rows in dc for the night sky portion.

  3. For a magical touch, embroider little “stars” using white yarn after the blanket is finished.

 

6. Finishing Touches

  1. Weave in all yarn ends with a tapestry needle.

  2. Optionally, add a simple single crochet border around the entire blanket.

  3. Block the blanket if needed to even out your stitches and enhance the shape.

 

💡 Extra Tips

  • Sketch your mountain layout or use graph paper before starting—it really helps!

  • Soft pastels create a calming look; bold colors give a more modern vibe.

  • Want a bigger blanket? Add more chains to the starting row and repeat the mountain pattern.
