This is part 5 of the 50 state blanket.
The previous parts can be found below:
- Part 1 – Introduction to the 50 State Blanket
- Part 2 – Alabama to California
- Part 3 – Colorado to Georgia
- Part 4 – Hawaii to Iowa
Part 5 consists of the states of Kansas to Maryland. Maryland was one of the states that I was worried wouldn’t really look like the state, but you can really see the details in the pattern. Kentucky is one of my favorite color combinations.
So remember if you are making the 50 states blanket, you will see an H-8 (5 mm) crochet hook and weight 4 yarn. I loved that I ate up some yarn in my yarn stash for this project. If you are impatient and want all of the charts now, you can find the complete pattern in our Etsy shop (which is a pdf and can easily be printed).
You can also use these charts to make anything you want in addition to the blanket. I have made throw pillows from these charts. The instructions I am going to have below are single crochet graphgan, but you can also use the charts for corner to corner crochet.
Instructions for chart
Chain 41 loosely in background color.
Row 1: Sc in the 2nd chain from the hook, 40 sc. You will begin at the arrow.

I hope you enjoyed making the states of Kansas to Maryland. Be on the lookout for Part 6!
