This week we will crochet 36 rows of our blanket and we will see the stars appear at the bottom. Magic Decanter is 181 squares wide on the chart, which means each Main Color row takes 91 double crochets (with a chain stitch between each stitch).

Magic Decanter CAL Schedule
To follow along with the free written pattern you’ll need to complete about 36 rows per week. I know this is completely unattainable for some people but we don’t mind if you take longer to get it done! You can show off your progress at any stage and at any date!!
If you share on Instagram, tag me @AshleesLint so I can see your pretty projects!

Time to Crochet!
This week we will crochet rows 4 through 40.
Head back to the Foundation Rows page if you need to start your blanket still.
Check out the full Key here. I know many of our experienced crocheters have no need to look at the key anymore but if the lines below are looking like gibberish you may want to refer back to the key or practice with a smaller project first.
Making progress on my pretty Magic Decanter blanket!
