Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in a soft cream color
• Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining a multiple of 6 plus 4 additional chains for the desired width of your blanket. For example, if you want a width of 36 inches, you would chain 6 x 9 + 4 = 58 chains.
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. At the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Start with a chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *skip the next stitch, make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, then dc in the skipped stitch; repeat from * across the row. Make sure to end with a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Begin with a chain 3, then make a dc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3: Continue alternating between Row 2 and Row 3 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Measure your work frequently to ensure you’re happy with the size.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a long tail. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.
