Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn (choose your favorite color)
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by chaining a multiple of 4 plus 2 for your desired width. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, you might chain 106 (which is 4 x 26 + 2).
2. Row 1: In the third chain from your hook, make a half double crochet (hdc). Continue to make hdc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first hdc). Now, *make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, then make a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. End this row with a hdc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row. Turn your work.
4. Repeat: Continue to repeat Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Keep in mind that the more rows you add, the larger your blanket will become.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn. To do this, cut the yarn leaving a 6-inch tail, pull the tail through the last loop on your hook, and tighten. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
