Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 3 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain the Foundation: Begin by chaining an even number of stitches to achieve your desired width for the blanket. For example, if you want a width of approximately 40 inches, chain about 40-50 stitches, depending on your tension.
2. Row 1: In the third chain from the hook, work a half double crochet (hdc). Continue to hdc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work to begin the next row.
3. Row 2: Start with a chain 2 (this counts as your first hdc). Now, *work a front post half double crochet (FPHDC) around the next stitch, followed by a back post half double crochet (BPHDC) around the next stitch. Repeat from * across the row, making sure to end with a hdc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row. Turn your work again.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. This could be anywhere from 40 inches to 60 inches or more, depending on how large you want your blanket to be.
5. Finishing Up: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it and pulling it through the last loop. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to ensure a neat finish.

Congratulations! You have now completed your chunky crochet ribbed blanket. Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your space!
