Secret Garden Blanket Crochet Pattern Rounds 19-23

6/26/2025

We are 1/2 way through our CAL! I know the thought of crocheting a blanket is overwhelming for some of our crochet friends. I think you've done a fantastic job on this one so give yourself a high five or pat on the back! It helps to take it one section at a time so you can tackle small amounts through each week instead of feeling pressured to finish it all at once.

For Rounds 19-23, we're keeping it basic by using a Herringbone Half Double Crochet stich. This is the solid pink section above our flower section in the photo above. Because of the slight slant that this stitch offers, it is more appealing to the eye than the basic hdc and it's fun to work.
While it is a basic crochet stitch, it is critical that you make sure your stitch counts are accurate at the end of each round in order to set yourself up for success in the next section.
