Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in the following colors:
  • Cream
  • Rust
  • Mustard
  • Teal
• Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot with your cream yarn. Chain 120 stitches. This will form the foundation of your blanket.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *skip the next stitch, and dc in the next stitch. Then, dc in the skipped stitch (this creates a cross stitch). Repeat from * across the row until you reach the end. Turn your work.
4. Change Color: Switch to your rust yarn. Repeat Row 2 using the rust yarn. Remember to maintain the cross stitch pattern as you work across the row.
5. Continue with Mustard: Change to your mustard yarn and repeat Row 2, continuing to follow the cross stitch pattern.
6. Switch to Teal: Change to your teal yarn and repeat Row 2, ensuring you keep the cross stitch pattern intact.
7. Color Alternation: Continue alternating colors every row, using cream, rust, mustard, and teal in that order. Maintain the cross stitch pattern throughout until your blanket reaches your desired length.
8. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish.
