I’m so excited to share with you the Alpine Blanket crochet pattern in U.K. terms. If you have ever tried to convert a pattern into a different terminology, then you know that is enough of a headache to make you want to throw in the hook!
That is why I wanted to create a version of my Alpine Blanket pattern in U.K. terms… to make life easier so we can get on with our crocheting already! Hee, hee.
It’s a slow process, but one that I am passionate about and hope to expand to other languages as well one day!
Check out my other crochet patterns that have been converted to U.K. crochet terms below!

How the Alpine Stitch Blanket Came to Be!
This design was inspired by a co-worker of my husband’s who is having their first little one. Also, I love Colorado and the tranquility which comes after spending time in the woods. So, with those factors in mind, the Alpine was born.
I love working with textures and finding different ways to help bring the yarn to life (look at the Tunisian dress I designed for Lion Brand!). It has been so much fun seeing so many makers create their own inspired versions of this pattern so if you do try your hand at the Alpine I would love to see it! Just use our tag #alpinestitch and I’ll be able to see and share it with my amazing followers on Instagram! (follow me on IG if you’re not already).

PATTERN NOTES/SUGGESTIONS:
***Post stitches are worked around the previous right side DC/FPDC row.
How to have success while making the Alpine Blanket
Because of the nature of post stitches and the variety of crocheter’s tension and preference I recommend that you do a sample swatch prior to starting the blanket pattern. If you notice that the blanket is curling, then there are a few things that you can do to alleviate that. You could continue and block the blanket after it is completed. You could try adjusting your tension. You could use a bigger hook size. Or, you could replace the FPtr with a FPdtr.
If you want to do stripes like me, simply do 10 vertical bars in color A and 7 vertical bars in color B. Also, be sure to change colors after finishing a DC across row. Otherwise, the color change will look very odd!

Hi Alexa, It’s Big Twist Premium in Kale and Pigeon. They have since been discontinued, but you should still be able to find some for sale or trade on Ravelry, Various Facebook yarn de-stash groups, and ebay. Thank you for stopping by!
Thank you for the pattern. I think this would make a great scarf.
so glad you like it! I agree, it would make a fabulous scarf!
I purchased the alpine blanket crochet pattern and have attempted the throw twice. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. One side has holes along the edge and the other does not. How many stitches should be in each row? Chained the initial 119 and had 117 for each row after.
I think half the pattern is still in US terms as it refers to SC and not treblefp. This was confusing for a while.
What row do you recommend to change colours?
I like to change right after the SC rows. I think it looks the cleanest.:)
Hi Jerica, i’m attempting the Alpine stitch for a blanket, i bought the pattern on Etsy, and i can’t figure out why my work is very gap-y. i don’t believe i crochet loosely but maybe for this stitch i do? any tips or tricks?
