Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in deep navy, silver, and teal
• Crochet Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches x 14 rows = 4 inches in pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

Foundation Row

1. Begin by chaining a multiple of 6, then add 2 additional chains. For example, you can chain 36 (which is 6 x 6) + 2 = 38 chains.

Row 1

1. Turn your work so that the foundation chain is facing you.
2. In the 2nd chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc).
3. Now, *skip the next 2 chains, then make 5 double crochets (dc) in the next chain. Skip the next 2 chains, and make 1 single crochet in the next chain; repeat from * across the entire row.
4. Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work.

Row 2

1. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
2. In the first single crochet from the previous row, make 2 double crochets.
3. Now, *skip the next 2 double crochets, make 1 single crochet in the next double crochet, skip the next 2 double crochets, and then make 5 double crochets in the next single crochet; repeat from * across the row.
4. When you reach the last single crochet, make 3 double crochets in that stitch, then turn your work.

Repeating the Pattern

1. Continue to repeat Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. This will create the beautiful undulating wave texture.

Finishing Up

1. Once you have reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it and pulling it through the last loop on your hook.
2. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to ensure your blanket has a neat finish.
