Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in shades of deep green, soft lavender, and cream.
• Crochet Hook: Size N/15 (10 mm) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 3 rows = 4 inches in quadruple treble crochet.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 100 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the drape of your blanket.
2. Row 1: In the 5th chain from the hook, work 1 quadruple treble crochet (qtr). To do this, yarn over four times, insert your hook into the chain, yarn over and pull up a loop (you will have five loops on your hook), yarn over and pull through two loops (you will have four loops left), yarn over and pull through the next two loops (three loops left), yarn over and pull through the next two loops (two loops left), and finally yarn over and pull through the last two loops. Continue to work 1 qtr in each chain across. Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 5 (this counts as your first quadruple treble crochet). Skip the first quadruple treble crochet from the previous row, and work 1 quadruple treble crochet in each of the remaining stitches across the row. Turn your work at the end of the row.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for an even texture.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn. To do this, cut the yarn leaving a 6-inch tail, pull the tail through the last loop on your hook, and pull tight. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish.
6. Optional Fringe: For a whimsical touch, you can add a fringe to the short ends of the blanket. Cut 12-inch strands of yarn in your chosen colors. Fold each strand in half and attach them to the edges of the blanket using a lark's head knot. To do this, create a loop with the folded end, insert the ends of the strand through the loop, and pull tight. Repeat this process until you have added fringe to your desired length.

Enjoy your beautiful Mystic Garden Blanket, a perfect blend of cozy warmth and elegant design!
