Hi Everyone! Welcome to the Happy Throw Two Crochet Along, Part One! I am so excited to be crocheting the Second Happy Throw with you in our year-long crochet-along. If this is your first time stitching one of my fun-filled crochet-alongs, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY! Grab your supplies (if you haven’t already), your favorite snack and beverage, get comfy, and start stitching up your blanket with me. Be sure to yell if you need help — I’m here to guide you along the way. This is going to be lots of fun! You can find more of my crochet-alongs here.

These patterns are only available for free for the duration of the crochet-along. Once completed, they’ll be removed and available only in my shops.
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 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. Enjoy!

Requirements
Level of Difficulty: Advanced Beginner
Yarn: What colors? Whatever your heart desires. You can use multiple colors, a solid, or a gradient — the only requirement is that your colors make you happy. 💛 Work with my suggested yarn and colors or pick your own. Just note that the weight of the yarn affects how defined your stitches are.
Hooks & Notions: I (5.5 mm) hook, scissors, tape measure, and a blunt yarn needle.
Measurement: 40 inches – using Dreamy yarn.
Gauge: 12 hdc + 2 rows = 4 inches (beginning of blanket), using Red Heart With Love yarn.
Abbreviations – US Terminology
- Ch/chs = chain/chains
- Sc = single crochet
- Hdc = half double crochet
- St(s) = stitch(es)
- Dc = double crochet
- BPdc = back post double crochet
- FPdc = front post double crochet
Pattern Notes
- Chain 1 at the beginning of a row does NOT count as a stitch.
- Chain 3 at the beginning of a row DOES count as a stitch.
- I used 4 colors of Red Heart With Love (#4) yarn. You don’t have to use 4 — use as few or as many colors as your heart desires.
- You may use any yarn size with its recommended hook. If your yarn suggests an I hook, use that — unless you crochet very tightly or loosely, then adjust accordingly.
- Because I’m a tight crocheter, I used a J hook to chain so the foundation isn’t too tight (this also keeps it from buckling). Always check your gauge.
Special Stitches: None for this part of the Happy Throw Two.
