Materials Needed

• Yarn: Chunky weight, 100% cotton yarn
• Crochet Hook: Size 8mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Row: Begin by chaining a multiple of 12 plus 3. For example, if you want a blanket that is 48 inches wide, you might chain 123 (12 x 10 + 3).
2. Row 1: In the fourth chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. You should have a total of (number of chains - 2) dc at the end of this row.
3. Row 2: Start by chaining 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *skip the next 2 dc, then make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around each of the next 2 dc. After that, working in front of the fpdc just made, fpdc around the 2 dc you skipped. Finally, make a dc in the next 2 dc. Repeat from * across the row until you reach the end. Turn your work.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue to repeat Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Keep in mind that the texture will become more pronounced with each row you complete.
5. Finishing: Once your blanket has reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends to ensure a clean finish.
