This is part 2 of the 50 States Blanket. Please see Part 1 for information regarding materials needed.

So this pattern is for the first 5 states for the 50 state blanket. I decided to make my blanket in alphabetical order, that way I didn’t accidentally skip a state. The first 5 states are Alabama to California. I have to admit that I am personally very proud of how Alaska turned out. It is such a large state and has a very unique shape that I was worried would look wonky, but it is perfect!

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.
