Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Mystic Meadow Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 120 stitches. This will form the width of your blanket.
2. Row 1: Work Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) across all 120 stitches. To do this, insert your hook into the first chain, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Continue this process until you have 120 loops on your hook. Do not turn your work.
3. Row 2: Begin by working *TSS in the next 5 stitches, then switch to Tunisian Knit Stitch (TKS) in the next stitch. Repeat from * across the row. You should end with TSS in the last few stitches.
4. Row 3: Work *TSS in the next 3 stitches, then TKS in the next 3 stitches. Repeat from * across the row. Make sure to maintain your stitch count of 120.
5. Row 4: Work *TKS in the next stitch, then TSS in the next 5 stitches. Repeat from * across the row. This will start to create the textured leaf motif.
6. Repeat Pattern: Continue alternating these patterns every 4 rows (Row 2, Row 3, Row 4) to create the textured leaf motif. Keep working until your blanket measures 60 inches in length.
7. Finishing: Once you reach the desired length, finish your blanket with a border. Work 2 rows of single crochet (SC) around the entire blanket. To do this, insert your hook into a corner, chain 1, and SC evenly around the edges, placing 3 SC in each corner to maintain the shape. Join with a slip stitch to the first SC.

Your Mystic Meadow Blanket is now complete! Enjoy the cozy warmth and the beauty of your handiwork as you wrap yourself in this nature-inspired piece.
