Materials Needed

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

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a slip knot and chaining a multiple of 4 plus 2. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, you might chain 82 (80 + 2).
2. Row 1: Single crochet in the second chain from the hook. Continue to single crochet in each chain across the foundation chain. Once you reach the end, turn your work. You should have a row of single crochets.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to begin the next row. Now, single crochet in the front loop only of each stitch across the row. To do this, insert your hook into the front loop of the single crochet from the previous row (the loop closest to you) and complete the single crochet as normal. Turn your work at the end of the row.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. This could take anywhere from a few rows to many, depending on how large you want your blanket to be. Remember to check your gauge occasionally to ensure consistency.
5. Finishing: Once your blanket has reached the 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. Finally, weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.

Now you have your very own Cozy Front Loop Crochet Blanket! Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your space, and feel proud of your handmade creation.
