• Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 double crochets x 8 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your Boho Chic Baby Blanket:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • To create a magic ring, wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop. Hold the loop with your thumb and insert your hook through the loop.
   • Yarn over and pull through to create a slip knot.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Make 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by making a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 3, then make 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • Make 2 dc in each stitch around the circle.
   • Join with a sl st. You should have 24 dc now.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 3, then *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch* and repeat this pattern around.
   • Join with a sl st. You should have 36 dc.
5. Round 4:
   • Chain 3, then *dc in the next 2 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch* and repeat this pattern around.
   • Join with a sl st. You should have 48 dc.
6. Continue Increasing:
   • Continue to increase in this manner (adding one more dc before the increase each round) until your blanket reaches the desired size.
7. Bobble Stitch Row:
   • Chain 3, then *bobble in the next stitch (to make a bobble, yarn over, insert hook into the stitch, yarn over again, pull through, yarn over and pull through the first two loops on your hook, repeat this two more times in the same stitch, then yarn over and pull through all four loops on your hook), dc in the next 3 stitches* and repeat across the row.
   • Join with a sl st.
8. Repeat Bobble Stitch Row:
   • Repeat the Bobble Stitch Row every 6th row to maintain the texture throughout your blanket.
9. Finish with a Border:
   • Once you reach your desired length, finish with a round of single crochet (sc) in a contrasting jewel tone yarn for a polished border.
