The Crochet Footsie Blanket is designed to keep your feet tucked into a pocket. No more feet popping out at the bottom.
I'm too tall for an average throw-size blanket. Instead of creating an obsession about extra length, I made a pocket that is 12" deep that I can slide my feet into to prevent my feet from poking out.
The entire project is the same length as my total height, so I have extra without forcing the blanket to stretch.
I intentionally created a striping effect at the bottom foot pocket area as this will most likely touch the floor. My cats sleep between my legs as I crochet. So they will sleep in the darker-coloured area without making my blanket look dirty too quickly.
I have included alternative information in the free downloadable PDF for the kid-size version. As an adult, I want to sleep on the sofa without feeling trapped. Thus, I only wanted a 12" deep pocket so I could easily get up.
I have given measurement options for those needing a chair or wheelchair size. The length is too long for being comfortable in a wheelchair. So, I have given alternative measurements for that as well.

The Crochet Footsie Blanket uses the moss stitch after the pocket is formed.

Is there now a link to the updated pattern addressing the non-existent ch-1 space in the first row of the open blanket? I'd like to start this, but don't want to buy the yarn until I understand the pattern completely. Thanks!

it's not a completely open blanket, its worked in the round for the foot section than in rows once you get to a certain point

You say you fixed the error and revised the pattern. How do I download and get the revised pattern? Everything I see is the same as it was.
Mikey says
Let me re-check that. It was supposed to be changed as I did it.
Mikey says
Updated. Looks like the link in the article didn't take or I missed it. It's been updated now.
Sheila says
Thank you. I now have the corrected pattern.
