Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Fern Motif

1. Start with a magic ring: Make a loop with your yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Insert your hook into the loop and pull up a loop to create your magic ring.
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) into the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch. Then, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 24 double crochets now.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, double crochet in the next stitch, then work 2 double crochets in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern (*dc in next st, 2 dc in next st*) around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 36 double crochets.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, double crochet in the next 2 stitches, then work 2 double crochets in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern (*dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in next st*) around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 48 double crochets.
6. Continue increasing: Keep following the same pattern of increasing until you have a total of 96 double crochets in your round.

Assembling the Throw

1. Create 20 fern motifs: Follow the above steps to crochet a total of 20 fern motifs.
2. Join the motifs: Using cream yarn, whip stitch or your preferred joining method to connect the fern motifs together. Arrange them in a pleasing pattern before joining.

Adding the Border

1. Attach moss yarn: Begin by attaching your moss yarn to any corner of the blanket. Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket. Make sure to place 3 single crochets in each corner to allow for a smooth curve.
2. Round 2: Chain 3, then double crochet in each stitch around the border. Join the round with a slip stitch.
3. Finish up: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.

Your Woodland Fern Throw is now complete! Enjoy the cozy warmth and natural beauty it brings to your home.
