Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in a soft cream color
• Crochet Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 loops and 4 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 4. This will determine the width of your blanket. For example, if you want a width of 40 inches, you would chain 100 (since 100 is a multiple of 4).
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). Continue to make a single crochet in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to begin. Make a single crochet in the first stitch. Now, for the loop stitch:
   • Insert your hook into the next stitch.
   • Yarn over and pull up a loop, making sure the loop is about 2-3 inches long.
   • Yarn over again and pull through the first loop on your hook (this creates a long loop).
   • Yarn over once more and pull through both loops on your hook to complete the single crochet with a loop.
   Repeat the loop stitch process from the * across the row until you reach the end. Once finished, turn your work.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Remember, the more rows you add, the longer your blanket will be!
5. Finishing: To secure the loops and give your blanket a polished look, finish with a row of single crochet across the top. This will help to hold the loops in place. Once completed, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
