I’m so glad you decided to join me in crocheting the Happy Throw Two. I love getting to see how your blankets are coming along. Thank you so much for sharing them with me. My goal for this Happy Throw crochet along is for us to have a lot of fun, stay in our happy place, create a beautiful blanket, and share our work with one another.
Wow! I can’t believe we are almost done with our second Happy Throw! How are you feeling about your blanket so far? Are you loving it? Do you think you will participate in the third Happy Throw? Enjoy!
Food for thought: If you would like to spice things up a little you can always change colors every other row or every two rows. I personally will work five rows one color then the last two rows a different color.

THESE PATTERNS WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE FOR FREE FOR THE DURATION OF THE CROCHET ALONG
Once completed, patterns will be removed and only be available in my shops!
Chain 1 at beginning of row does NOT count as a stitch
I used 4 colors of Red Heart With Love #4 yarn. You do not have to use 4 colors. You can use as little or as many colors as your heart desires. The only requirement is your colors make you happy. 😊
You may use any size yarn and the recommended hook size. However, depending on the weight of the yarn will depend on how defined your stitches are.
If your yarn suggests using a I hook, then that’s what you will use. UNLESS you crochet to tight or to loose. Then you may want to adjust your hook size accordingly.
Because I am a tight crocheter I used the J crochet hook to chain with, so the chain isn’t to tight. This will also keep it from buckling. If you crochet loosely then you really shouldn’t have to go up a hook size when chaining. Rule of thumb always check your gauge.
Special Stitches
Herringbone Double Crochet (Hb-dc): Yarn over, insert hook in indicated stitch, yarn over, draw up a loop and through first loop on hook (2 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through 1 loop, yarn over and draw through both loops.
