Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in a soft peach color
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in ribbed pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining a multiple of 4 plus 2 for the desired width of your blanket. For example, if you want your blanket to be 40 inches wide, you would chain 102 (100 + 2).
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first dc). Now, you will create the ribbed pattern. *Make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc, then make a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Finish the row with a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. You can make it as long as you like, but a good length for a throw blanket is around 50-60 inches.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.

Enjoy your new cozy crochet ribbed blanket! It’s perfect for snuggling up on the couch or as a lovely gift for a friend.
