Classic V Stitch in the Round
V St : dc, ch1 dc
R1 Make MR, ch2 (serves as dc)
2dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, hdc into beg ch to complete round
R2 Ch4 (serves as dc and ch1). Dc in same sp.
*V st into 2nd dc of 3dc cluster
In corner make a v st ch1 v st.
*Repeat around until you come back to the first corner.
v st and hdc into 3rd ch to complete round.
R3 Ch4. Dc in same sp.
v st into v st from previous round. Continue across
In corner make a v st ch1 v st
Repeat around until you come back to first corner.
V st and hdc into top of 3rd chain to complete the round.
Repeat R3 if you want to go larger but be aware it will start getting wavy the larger you go.
If you see any errors in this pattern, please let me know.
Modified V St Square i
V St : 2dc
R1 Make MR, ch2 (serves as dc)
2dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, ch2, 3dc, hdc into beg ch to complete round
R2 Ch2 and turn (serves as dc and ch1). Dc in same sp.
*V st into 2nd dc of 3dc cluster
In corner make a v st ch1 v st.
*Repeat around until you come back to the first corner.
v st and hdc into top of ch to complete round
R3 Ch2 and turn. Dc in same sp.
v st into v st from previous round. Continue across
In corner make a v st ch1 v st
Repeat around until you come back to first corner.
V st and hdc into top of chain to complete the round.
R4 Repeat Round 3
R5 Everything is the same except your corners.
Make a dc, ch1 dc instead
R6 Resume with 2 dc, ch1 2dc, in your corners but SKIP the 1 dc from previous round and add your v st into first available v st.
Continue as normal working v sts in previous v sts
Complete the round with v st and hdc in top of ch to complete the round.
Repeat R5 and R6
You don't need to alternate these two rounds if you don't want to.
Play around with it and use the sequence of R5 and 6 when it starts getting wavy to pull it back into place.
For my hook and tension, alternation for the entire square (starting at R5 ) worked best for me.
You can use this 7 stitch sequence to incorporate into an existing pattern
or use it for a scarf or blanket.

Paw Print Stitch
Chain 7 + 2

This is just a guide to the sequence. Create your
first dc of each row using your favorite method.

R2 2 dc, ch 3 sk 3, 2 dc
R3 1 dc, ch 2, sk 1, 3 sc in ch sp, ch 2, sk 1, dc in last st

Here is the sequence used in the video.
Iβll add βPawβ for st sequence used in each row.
Use the guide above for reference.
Chain a multiple of 10 + 3 + 2
R1 1 dc in each st across
R2 3 dc, *Paw R2, 3 dc. Repeat * across
R3 3 dc, *Paw R3, 3 dc. Repeat * across
R4 3 dc, *Paw R4, 3 dc. Repeat * across
R5 1 dc in each st across
To repeat same alignment , repeat rows 2 through 5 until completion.
To stagger your paws:
R6 8 dc, *Paw R2, 3dc. Repeat * across until 5 sts remain. 1 dc in last 5 sts
R7 8 dc, *Paw R3, 3dc. Repeat* across until 5 sts remain. 1 dc in last 5 sts.
R8 8 dc, *Paw R4, 3dc. Repeat *across until 5 sts remain. 1 dc in last 5 sts.
R9 1 dc in each st across
To continue repeat rows 2 through 9 until completion
If you notice an error please let me know.
Please note that this is more of a guide and I did not add the turn after each row.
Iβm assuming you have watched the video and you know to turn after each row and create a dc in first st using your favorite method.

The stitch itself is an easy one row repeat but the color changes can be a bit tricky until you get the hang of it.
Until then you can find a color key below to help you remember the sequence.
Granny Stripe sequence
Make a chain that is multiple of 3 and an odd number.
Add 1 more at the end.
R1 Work 2 dc in 4th ch from hook.
*sk 2 chs, 3 dc in 3rd chain. Repeat * across until 3 chs remain.
1 dc in last ch. Ch 3 and turn.
R2 Work 2 dc in sp below chain. Work 3 dc in next sp between clusters from previous row. Repeat across and add 1 dc in last st of the row. ch 3 and turn.
Repeat R2 to completion.
(Cluster: 3 dc in same st)
For color changes, each letter represents 1 color.

Pattern Notes:
Shell: 2dc, ch1, 2dc
Ext 2dctog:
Yarn over, insert hook in st, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook)
Yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook (2 loops on hook)
Yarn over, insert hook in same st , pull up a loop ( 4 loops on hook)
Yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook (3 loops on hook)
Yarn over, pull through all 3 loops
To make this "extended", follow the patten directions for st location. Also, pull on your yarn slightly when pulling through st to help reach the height of the other stitches in the row as shown in video.
Make chain using a multiple of 5
R1 Dc in 4th ch from hook. * Sk 4 chains and make a shell in the 5th ch. Repeat * across until you have 6 remaining ch's. Dc in last 2 ch's.
Ch 3 and turn. (I prefer to ch 2 or do the stacked sc). This will serve as your first dc throughout the pattern for each row.
R2 Dc in 2nd stitch. Work a shell into the ch1 space of the shell st from the previous row. Repeat across. Add a dc in last 2 stitches. Ch3 and turn
Changes colors. 3 Row Repeat Begins
R3 Dc in 2nd stitch. * Work the extended 2 dctog in space from 2 rows below. Work a shell into the ch1 space of the shell st from the previous row. Work the extended 2 dctog in space from 2 rows below. Repeat * across until 2 stitches remain. Add a dc in the last 2 stitches.
Ch3 and turn
R4 Dc in 2nd stitch. Work a shell into the ch1 space of the shell st from the previous row. Repeat across. Add a dc in last 2 stitches. Ch3 and turn.
R5 Repeat R4
To Finish repeat Row 3 for your last row. Fasten off
To straighten Edge, I used this sequence:
Hdc, hdc , dc. Then * hdc, sc, sc, sc, hdc, dc . Repeat * across until you do your last dc. End with 1 hdc in last 2 sts.
This is just a suggestion. Play with it and see what works best for you

This stitch is very similar to the Wattle stitch and can be used for this pattern as well. Instead of working into the sc, you'll instead work into the ch 1 space. Otherwise, everything is exactly the same. You'll notice, the chain space lands as the 2nd stitch in the increases and the 3rd stitch in the decreases just like the Suzette stitch's sc ππ»

A written pattern can be found there as well by another user.
You can search "pony bead blanket pattern" and it will pop up.

Washing:
Jess uses her washing machine to clean her blanket. She has used high heat with no issues.
Keep in mind, she is using acrylic yarn. Other yarns may vary in result. She does not use a dryer because the beads make it noisy. ππ»

Hook & Yarn :
To obtain gauge, I'd recommend using a Worsted (weight 4) yarn with a 4 mm hook
I'm using a 100% cotton yarn by Hobby Lobby
called "I love this cotton yarn". This yarn does NOT have a lot of stretch so keep that in mind as you are doing your measurements. Wool and Acrylic has more stretch so you may need to shorten the width (circumference) of your hat by a couple of inches.
Colors:
Parchment (for the Neutral)
Aqua
Buttercup
Pink
Stonewash Blue
Serena Spa
Coral
Rosey II
Deep Teal
Sage
If you don't have a hobby lobby near you, I'd also recommend:
Comfy Worsted by KnitPicks with a 4mm hook.
knitpicks.com/yarn/comfy-worsted/c/5420171
This yarn is slightly thinner so your squares might come out about 1/4" smaller but it's supposed to be in the same weight category (4)
You can see what it looks like in this video:
youtu.be/toCk0jHlqt0
I'd recommend you use your favorite yarn. If you want it to look like the reference photo, I'd recommend using a merino wool or blend.

Here is a link to yarn weights and the different way they are referenced:

Scarf measures approx. 10 x 70 inches. (25 x 177 cm)

Please note, this is not an exact replica of the scarf, I am just using it for inspiration to help you see how to design your own as well as share some fun stitches that you can use for this scarf or for other sampler style projects.
Specialty Stitches:
A variation of the Cable Stitch
The Moroccan Tile Stitch
Treble Crochet Cross
If you are fairly new to crocheting or would be interested in trying other stitches for this scarf, here is a video with more sampler stitches that will work nicely for a scarf:
youtu.be/5EjtcxfBJ90
If you're working with a weight 4 yarn and a 4mm hook , it will take approx
40 chains to reach 10 inches. However the main specialty stitch requires a multiple of 3 (plus 1 or 2 depending on how you use it) so keep that in mind as your mapping out your scarf. This is explained in the video.
Here is a link to yarn weights and the different way they are referenced:
craftyarncouncil.com/standards/yarn-weight-system
Scarf measures approx. 10 x 70 inches
Hook & Yarn :
To obtain gauge, I'd recommend using a Worsted (weight 4) yarn with a 4 mm hook
I'm using a 100% cotton yarn by Hobby Lobby
called "I love this cotton yarn".
Colors:
Parchment (for the Neutral)
Aqua
Buttercup
Pink
Stonewash Blue
Serena Spa
Coral
Rosey II
I also have Deep Teal and Sage that I'll probably include later but not sure yet.
If you don't have a hobby lobby near you, I'd also recommend:
Comfy Worsted by KnitPicks with a 4mm hook.
knitpicks.com/yarn/comfy-worsted/c/5420171
This yarn is slightly thinner so your squares might come out about 1/4" smaller but it's supposed to be in the same weight category (4)
You can see what it looks like in this video:
youtu.be/toCk0jHlqt0
I'd recommend you use your favorite yarn. If you want it to look like the reference photo, I'd recommend using a merino wool or blend.

A 4x5 ft blanket will take approx 6-8 hours of crochet time depending on your speed. For example, each ball took me 1.5 hours to crochet.

Craft Yarn Council Foot Size Chart
craftyarncouncil.com/standards/foot-size-charts
My slipper sock measures:
15 inches (38 cm) long
8 inch (20 cm) circumference
My widest part of the foot was closer to 8.5 - 9 inches but this yarn
stretches a lot so I went down to 8 after trying it on. We are working in rows on the "width" side, so you can try it on before cutting your yarn to double check the fit like I did. I went from 13 rows down to 12 after trying it on.

The technique used is very easy but if you find it tricky , there is an alternative version at the end of the video that is more beginner friendly.
The blanket in the video measures approx. 4' x 5' ft ( 50" x 60" in) using a 12 mm hook.
If you want to resize your blanket, here is an easy formula to help you figure out how much yarn you need. Please note that these numbers are based on the yarn I used. If you use a different weight or brand, results will vary. If you have any questions, leave it in the comments and I'll help the best I can.
