Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in the following colors:
  • Cream
  • Coral
  • Teal
  • Mustard
  • Brown
• Hook: Size N (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 5 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 80 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight to allow for easy stitching in the next rows.
2. Row 1: In the 2nd chain from the hook, work 1 half double crochet (hdc). Continue to hdc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first hdc), then hdc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work at the end.
4. Color Change to Coral: Change to coral yarn. Repeat Row 2 for 6 rows, maintaining the same stitch pattern. Remember to turn your work after each row.
5. Color Change to Cream: Switch to cream yarn. Repeat Row 2 for another 6 rows.
6. Color Change to Teal: Now, change to teal yarn. Again, repeat Row 2 for 6 rows.
7. Color Change to Brown: Switch to brown yarn and repeat Row 2 for 6 rows.
8. Color Change to Cream: Go back to cream yarn and repeat Row 2 for 6 rows.
9. Color Change to Coral: Change back to coral yarn and repeat Row 2 for 6 rows.
10. Continue Alternating Colors: Keep alternating the colors in this manner until your blanket reaches your desired length. Make sure to end with a cream row for a nice finish.
11. Finishing Touch: To create a border, single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket. When you reach each corner, place 3 single crochets to give it a rounded look.
12. Final Steps: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to keep your blanket looking neat and tidy.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own cozy striped crochet blanket. Enjoy snuggling up with it or gifting it to someone special!
