Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn (weight 6)
• Crochet Hook: 10 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in basketweave stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 30 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the overall flexibility of your blanket.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 double crochet (dc). Then, dc in each chain across until you reach the end of the row. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Skip the first dc from the previous row. Now, *work 2 dc in the next stitch, then skip the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3 (counts as your first dc). Skip the first dc from the previous row. Again, *work 2 dc in the next stitch, skip the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows: Continue to alternate between Row 2 and Row 3 until your blanket reaches your desired length. This will create the beautiful basketweave effect that gives this blanket its unique texture.
6. Adding a Border: Once you have reached your desired length, it’s time to finish off the blanket. Work 1 round of single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket. Make sure to add 3 sc in each corner to give it a nice rounded finish.
7. Finishing Touches: After completing the border, finish off your work and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle. This will give your blanket a clean and polished look.

Congratulations! You’ve just completed your very own textured basketweave blanket. Enjoy the warmth and style it brings to your home!
