Tester's Delight Crochet Rectangle Framed Blanket + Tutorial

Sharing is caring!

Rainy days and caregiver days when you want to keep busy. The crochet framed rectangle blanket pattern developed by Michael Sellick may be up for something to crochet. I have included the instructions to make this a square too! This is the Tester's Delight Crochet Blanket.

Using Caron One Pound yarn, put the hook into the motion. Ten rounds complete a sequence. I have to get you started, and then the pattern repeating begins.

This pattern is currently being tested. I don't feel the stitch counts are essential as the sequence follows easily along. I provided the first two rounds to ensure you start with the right counts before the sequence begins.

Frame Sequence starts fresh here. Each section is ten rounds. 3rd to 12th rounds. Start again with rnd 3 with a new colour by joining to the corner with the new colour and beginning the instructions again.

The colour sequence is B, C, A, B, and C. There are only two bands of each colour in this blanket.

Another Easy to Follow Blanket

Named the Crochet Christmas Elf Throw, also using Caron One Pound. I looked at colours inside digital art that shows Santa's Toy Shop. Easy going up and down waves without a lot of thought as the repeating is pretty easy.

    I have completed rounds 1 thru 5 with no problems. Another fantastic Mikey design. I love that it is a rectangle.

    Thank you for all you do

    I’m up to round 13 and I don’t see any errors. Coming along very nicely. I watch your videos all the time so I’m familiar with the hdc join. In the abbreviations you say to Ch 2 and join but a newbie might Ch 2 and then do the hdc join so maybe you might want to clarify that for them. I also had a question. On round 6 with the extended sc was that just a design thing? because on most rounds it’s just a 2dc ch2 2dc. Either way I like it, just curious.

    Foe the majority of this written pattern is understandable. As I'm new at reading patterns. There is one or two I'm not sure of yet if done in a tutorial where I can see something done, I'd probably understand and do it.
    Thank you very much

      I'm unsure where in the pattern you are speaking that is confusing you. Can you be more specific?
