Hi there, my fellow blanket maker!

Today, I’m sharing my Violet stitch pattern for the Part 5 panel of the Tranquility Throw CAL! (I have a love for Downton Abbey, which inspired the stitch and the name) You might remember the Harmony Throw from two years ago or the Serenity Throw from last year, and if you loved those, you’re in for a treat! Agat of Made by Gootie and Shannon of The Loophole Fox are back with another beautiful blanket CAL called the Tranquility Throw!

Tranquility Throw CAL

If you missed Parts 1-4, head to the main CAL post linked below to get details and get started! There’s plenty of time to catch up!

If you get behind on the CAL or want to make another sometime in the future, it’s okay, the pattern for this panel will always be available here on my blog, just scroll down. If you don’t feel like messing around with a daily check-in, you might consider the eBook, which includes all the below photos and linked tutorials from below, and I’ve also included a stitch chart for my part! Read on!

Tranquility Throw eBook

If you missed several pats or if you don’t want to wait for Parts 6-12 and the border to finish your blanket, there’s a convenient eBook available, which contains a PDF version of the entire pattern! Take advantage of the reduced price of $11.99 for the duration of the CAL, after which the price increases to $15.99.

If you purchased the Serenity Throw eBook last year, the format for the Tranquility Throw eBook is the same. It includes a cohesive pattern that lays out each section, transition, and border all in one place.

Notes

This pattern is written in US Terms and set for Advanced Beginner skill level.
Sizes: This pattern includes both sizes (Lapghan and Throw) in one set of instructions. Follow the instructions as listed for the size you are making.
Size/Tension Adjustments: increase/decrease hook size and see last bullet point
Turning Chains: chain stitches at the beginning of rows DO NOT COUNT as a stitch
Video: There is a supplemental video for this pattern that can be found below.
TIP: When you see “sc 3,” you’ll work 1 sc into each of the next 3 stitches.
TIP: Keep a looser tension when working spike stitches as they may pull your work too tightly and cause you to be significantly short of the 5″ height needed for this section. If that happens, you may consider working an additional repeat of R2-5 before working the final row of this section.

Written Pattern

This pattern is the 5th panel of the Tranquility Throw CAL, worked on top of the two transition rows as given in the hosts’ posts. The photos below depict only a small swatch of the whole panel.

PRO TIP: Keep a looser tension when working spike stitches as they may pull your work too tightly and cause you to be significantly short of the 5″ height needed for this section. If that happens, you may consider working an additional repeat of R2-5 before working the final row of this section.

R1 (RS): sc in each st across, ch 1, turn. [156 sts Lapghan (192 sts Throw)]
NOTE: The right side of the blanket should be facing you when you work this and every odd-numbered row.

R2 (WS): hdc in each st across, ch 1, turn. [156 sts Lapghan (192 sts Throw)]

R3 (RS): hdc in each st across, ch 1, turn. [156 sts Lapghan (192 sts Throw)]

R4 (WS): sc 3, [sk 1, sp sc into the 5th sc from 3 rows below (R1), sc next, sk 1, sp sc into same st as previous sp sc to complete spiked V, sc 3], repeat [ ]s across, working each spiked V into into the 6th sc from the previous pair. Continue until 3 sts remain, sc 3, ch 1, turn. [156 sts Lapghan – 50 sp sc, 106 sc (192 sts Throw – 62 sp sc, 130 sc)]
NOTE: The sp sc sts will hide the skipped stitches, so be careful to work the sc between them in the correct place. For example, you will skip the 4th sc from R3 to work the first sp sc of that first spiked V. The first sp sc will hide the skipped 4th st from R3, then the sc that follows is worked into the 5th sc from R3. Work the second sp sc in that spiked V into the 5th sc from R1 again to complete the spiked V, which will then hide the skipped 6th sc from R3. For additional help, click here for R4 of the video pattern.
NOTE: There are 5 sts between each point of the spiked Vs and the next spiked V is worked into the 6th.

R5 (RS): sc in each st across, ch 1, turn. [156 sts Lapghan (192 sts Throw)]

R6 (WS): hdc in each st across, ch 1, turn. [156 sts Lapghan (192 sts Throw)]

R7 (RS): hdc in each st across, ch 1, turn. [156 sts Lapghan (192 sts Throw)]

R8 (WS): sc 3, [sc 3, sk 1, sp sc into the 8th sc from 3 rows below (R5), sc next, sk 1, sp sc into same st as previous sp sc to complete spiked V], repeat [ ]s across, working each spiked V into the 6th sc from the previous spiked V. Continue until 3 sts remain, sc 3, ch 1, turn. [156 sts Lapghan – 50 sp sc, 106 sc (192 sts Throw – 62 sp sc, 130 sc)]
NOTE: We are working the 3 sc sts before the spiked V in our row repeat in this row to offset the spiked Vs in R4, meaning your first spiked V will be worked into the 8th st from 3 rows below. For additional help, click here for R8 of the video pattern.
NOTE: There are 5 sts between each point of the spiked Vs and the next spiked V is worked into the 6th.

R9 (RS): sc in each st across, ch 1, turn. [156 sts Lapghan (192 sts Throw)]

That’s your pattern repeat!

R10-17: Repeat R2-9. [156 sts Lapghan (192 sts Throw)]

R18 (WS): sc in each st across, ch 1, turn. [156 sts Lapghan (192 sts Throw)]

That’s the end of Part 5! Proceed to your transition rows! Find those on the host’s blog post here.
