Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in a soft peach color
• Hook: Size L (8.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain that is a multiple of 4, plus 2 additional chains. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, you might chain 106 (which is 4 x 26 + 2).
2. Row 1: Skip the first chain from your hook. Single crochet (sc) in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Begin by chaining 3 (this counts as your first double crochet, dc). Now, *skip the next single crochet, double crochet in the next single crochet, then double crochet in the skipped single crochet (this creates a cross stitch)*. Repeat this pattern from * to * across the row. Make sure to double crochet in the last single crochet of the row. Turn your work.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Remember to keep your tension consistent and check your gauge to ensure your blanket stays uniform.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends to prevent unraveling. Make sure to secure your stitches well.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Cozy Textured Crochet Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your home!
