Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain in multiples of 2 plus 1. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, you might chain 81 (40 inches x 4 stitches per inch = 160 stitches, then 160/2 = 80 + 1 = 81). This will ensure your blanket has the right width.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). Continue to make a single crochet in each chain across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to start the new row. Make a single crochet in the first stitch. Now, *make a double crochet (dc) in the next stitch, then a single crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1 to start. Make a single crochet in each stitch across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
5. Row 4: Chain 1 to start. Make a single crochet in the first stitch. Now, *make a double crochet in the next stitch, then a single crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
6. Repeat Rows 3 and 4: Continue to alternate between Row 3 and Row 4 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Remember to keep your tension consistent to maintain an even texture throughout the blanket.
7. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Finally, weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.
