Materials Needed

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

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain 60: Start by making a slip knot on your hook. Then, chain 60 stitches. This will be the foundation of your blanket.
2. Row 1: Double crochet (dc) in the 4th chain from the hook. This counts as your first dc. Continue to double crochet in each chain across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3. This counts as your first double crochet for this row and all subsequent rows. Now, *skip the next stitch, then make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the post of the next stitch. After that, double crochet (dc) in the skipped stitch. Repeat from * across the row, finishing with a double crochet in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work again.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue to repeat Row 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. Remember to keep your tension consistent for an even texture throughout.
5. Finish Up: Once you have achieved your desired length, fasten off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
