Read the material and size specifications
The Easy pattern specifies a 48 by 60 inch blanket in Bernat Symphony Pomegranate Punch. It lists eight 225 g/309 yd balls, a 6.5 mm hook and a 5½ inch cardboard tassel former. Its single-crochet gauge is 11 stitches and 12 rows per 4 inches.
Understand the construction
After three setup rows, a two-row repeat combines single crochet with raised front-post double crochet and treble stitches reaching into earlier rows. The finishing section adds 22 tassels along the two ends, aligned with the paired raised posts.
Read the raised-stitch path
Mark the right side and identify the earlier row before inserting the hook. A tall stitch may reach below the current row; this is different from adding a stitch to the ordinary top edge. Use the chart alongside the written repeat.
Measure without stretching the texture
Lay the work flat and allow the raised areas to settle. Check several sections across the width and record the row count at a measured length. Pulling the ridges flat changes the apparent gauge.
Reserve yarn for the ends
Keep a separate allowance for the tassels before working the final length. Make a sample tassel, check its weight against the blanket and attach all tassels at matching points. Trim after the complete set is attached.
How to read the illustration
The illustration emphasizes crisp cream branching ribs against burgundy, while the official variegated Symphony yarn gives a less regular color distribution. Tassel count and repeat scale are illustrative. The close-up is generic edge crochet, not the complete raised-post repeat. Use the official PDF for the complete construction and stitch sequence.
