Instructions:
Step 1: Starting Chain
Begin by chaining 80 in orange yarn. Make sure your chain is not too tight and is even.
Step 2: Row 1 - Foundation Row
In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). Then, single crochet in each chain across. You should have 79 sc by the end of this row. Turn your work.
Step 3: Row 2 - Textured Stitch
Ch 2 (this counts as your first double crochet), then stitch 1 dc in the next stitch. Now, in the next stitch, make a front post double crochet (FPdc) around the previous double crochet. Repeat this pattern (1 dc, 1 FPdc) until the end of the row. End with a dc in the last stitch. Turn your work.
Step 4: Row 3 - Change to Navy
To create a color change, in the last stitch of Row 2, pull through navy yarn instead of orange. Ch 2, then repeat the (1 dc, 1 FPdc) pattern until the end of the row. Turn your work.
Step 5: Repeat Rows
Continue alternating rows between orange and navy, maintaining the textured stitch pattern. Complete a total of 20 rows, or until your blanket reaches approximately 60 inches in length.
Step 6: Finish Off
Once your blanket is the desired length, finish off your last row by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it. Use the tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends.

Your textured crochet blanket is now complete! You can add fringes or borders if desired. Enjoy snuggling in your new cozy creation!
