I can’t get the graphs to.download,says the files are corrupted or not in PDF format? He!p?
Hello! We are working with our tech team to fix this, thank you for your patience in the meantime! – Nicola, Editor
Hi; I do not understand the instructions for the first row of the border. For some reason my mind cannot grasp the instructions as written. Would it be possible for you to clarify those instructions? Thank you in advance. – Carolyne.
Hello! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
The border is all single crochet. Single crochet evenly around the whole blanket. Work 2 or 3 single crochet stitches along the edge of each C2C block around the blanket. Single crochet evenly around for 5 rounds, then work reverse single crochet evenly around for the 6th and final round.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
I can’t wait to try this.
Is there a pdf to download or a way to bookmark it?
Hi Megan! We are currently working on this feature for a future update! For now, I would suggest printing the pattern or saving it with your web browser’s bookmarks tool, Hope that helps! – Nicola, Editor
Can I use #4 yarn?
Hi Judy! You probably can, but you will just have to see how the gauge and measurements line up. I would recommend maybe a bulky yarn instead, or visiting YarnSub for suitable yarn suggestions: https://yarnsub.com/yarns/red_heart/hygge
Hope this helps! – Nicola, Editor
Thank you for the charts! Found my first project for after Christmas!
It calls for 24 balls of Red Heart Hygge which retail for $9.99 each. That’s an expensive blanket if made with that yarn. $240? Yikes! I’m going to break into my stash and see what I can come up with.
Hi Michelle! Yes, this blanket is a labor of love for sure with this yarn amount and cost. We understand! You can try YarnSub and see fi you can find a yarn that’s similar at a lower price point. Hope that helps! – Nicola

Hi Margaret! The charts are on the right side of the page below the photos. I’ve pasted a link here as well: https://www.ilikecrochet.com/wp-content/uploads/Runa-C2C-Blanket-Charts.pdf
Happy crocheting!
May I please have the chart for this pattern, I would like very much to give this a go.
Hi Edith! The carts are on the right side of the page just below the last photo. Let me know if you have any questions!
Oooooo! I love the design and colorway. I have to make this one!
Would this pattern work with #4 medium weight yarn ?
sorry but i am a little dummy about color can you tell me what color i have take for this pattern
I have read that if you use two strands of worsted weight yarn is equivalent to #5 or 6 bulky yarn. Good luck and God bless
