Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in shades of seafoam green, aqua, and soft blue.
• Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 120 stitches using the seafoam green yarn. Ensure that your chain is not twisted.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). Continue to sc in each chain across. Turn your work. (You should have 119 stitches.)
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet, dc). *Skip the next stitch, make a dc in the next stitch, then make a dc in the skipped stitch (this creates a crossed dc). Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with a dc in the last stitch. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1, then sc across the row. Turn your work.
5. Rows 4-10: Repeat Rows 2 and 3, alternating colors between aqua and soft blue every two rows. Make sure to keep your tension consistent.
6. Row 11: Chain 2, then hdc (half double crochet) across the row. Turn your work.
7. Rows 12-20: Repeat Rows 2 and 3, continuing to alternate colors as before.
8. Row 21: Chain 1, then sc across the row. Turn your work.
9. Rows 22-30: Repeat Rows 2 and 3, alternating colors as you have done previously.
10. Row 31: Chain 2, then hdc across the row. Turn your work.
11. Continue Pattern: Keep repeating the pattern until your blanket measures approximately 36 inches in length, making sure to end with a sc row.
12. Border: With the seafoam green yarn, make a single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire blanket. In each corner, work 3 sc to ensure the corners are rounded. Once you have completed the border, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends.
