Crochet Plush Moss Blanket
Introducing the Crochet Plush Moss Blanket that is the Moss Stitch. The Moss Stitch is used in examples like Colouring Pooling but for this sort of Chevron Wave, colour pooling, (I don't think), won't work.
The pattern has 3 rows as it takes the 1st two rows to get the pattern established. Once you get to row 3, the rest of the blanket is simply repeating row 3 until you are done.
I used Bernat Blanket Stripes.
Colour Pooling Using Moss Stitch
Moss Stitching creates the colour pooling look when done in straight rows across. Learn how it's done with the tutorial below.
The colour is changing on it's down for the rich stripes you see in the blanket. For new crocheters, the idea of fumbling around with constantly changing colours out is eliminated.
So let the yarn ball do the work for you.
Example of Moss Stitch
The below tutorial is showing the Moss Stitch in a Scarf. It's called the Crochet Mood Scarf.
This is the Moss Stitch using Bernat Blanket. Again, in straight rows across. This is called the Crochet Hibernate Afghan.

Where do you find the Bernat Blanket Stripes yarn? Yarninspirations does not carry it.

I have been trying to figure this pattern out all night! Followed written pattern and then went to the tutorial! Please make correct instructions!! 3 hours and still not started! Ugh!!!
Mikey says
Where do you believe the error is. I'm sorry you wasted three hours. Can you tell me where you think you are going wrong so I know where to look.
Mary says
The printed pattern instructions don’t match the tutorial. Should there be a chain 1 after the sc2tog stitches? Also I am having a difficult time figuring out row 3! Especially the sc2tog in row 3. Confused by chain space and stitch. Thank you!
Mikey says
Row 2 – Ch 1, 2 sc in first st. Ch 1,
(skip next st, sc in next. Ch 1) twice.
Skip next st, 2sctog over next 2 sts, 2
sc2tog over next 2 sts. (Skip next st, sc
in next. Ch 1) twice. Skip next st, 2 sc
in next st. *2 sc in next st, Ch 1, (skip
next st, sc in next. Ch 1) twice. Skip
next st, 2sctog over next 2 sts, 2 sc2tog
over next 2 sts. (skip next st, sc in next.
Ch 1) twice. Skip next st, 2 sc in next
st. Repeat * across. Turn.
I just watched tutorial before responding. There are 2 sets of sc2tog twice in a row without a ch-1 sp between them. The ch-1 sp isn't put in until both the sc2tog. Hopefully, this makes sense.

I only worked from the printed pattern, and noticed on row 2, two spots where a Ch 1 was missing after the second sc2tog. The same thing is happening in row 3. You did get the extra ch 1 in after the 2 sc at the start and the second 2 sc's at the point, but missed it after the second sc2tog at the valleys. Thanks - it's a great pattern. I am making humane society snuggles with the pattern.
Marsha Briley says
Working off the pattern, I have noticed that too. I have pulled this out more times than I want to count. I will add the Ch 1 after the second sc2tog and see if that will work. This isn't a hard pattern but I am having such a hard time getting the peaks and valley to match up. Ugh!
Shell says
Hello, I just watched the YouTube video and compared it to the pattern. On row 3, you state in the video (around 15:11 minutes and after the second sc2tog) to chain 1. That is not reflected in the pattern. I only bother to point this out because I have been having difficulty with crocheting row 3 using just the pattern. Anywho, thanks for posting crochet videos; they are great learning tools.
