Materials Needed

• Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook.
• Gauge: 12 double crochet (dc) and 7 rows = 4 inches.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling the working yarn through the loop. This will be the center of your blanket.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets into the magic ring. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the same stitch. Now, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You will have 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the next stitch. In the next stitch, work 2 double crochets. Repeat this pattern around (1 dc in one stitch, 2 dc in the next). Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You will have 36 double crochets.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, then work 1 double crochet in the next 2 stitches. In the next stitch, work 2 double crochets. Repeat this pattern around (1 dc in the next 3 stitches, 2 dc in the next). Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You will have 48 double crochets.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner for each subsequent round, adding one more double crochet between increases each time until your blanket reaches your desired size.
7. Color Changes: To create a striped effect, alternate your colors every 4 rounds. For example, after completing 4 rounds in mint green, switch to lavender for the next 4 rounds, then to soft pink, and finally to cream.
8. Finishing Touch: Once you have reached your desired size, finish your blanket with a border. Work a single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket using cream yarn. This will give your blanket a clean and polished edge.

Now you have your very own Spring Rhapsody Blanket! Enjoy the cozy warmth and vibrant colors that this beautiful piece brings to your home.
