Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in natural cream
• Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by chaining a multiple of 4 plus 2 for your desired width. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, you would chain 162 (4 x 40 ÷ 4 + 2).
2. Row 1: In the fourth chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to double crochet in each chain across the row. At the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Now, *skip the next double crochet, and make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next double crochet. Then, double crochet in the skipped double crochet.* Repeat from * to * across the row. Finish the row by double crocheting in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Repeat: Continue to repeat Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Remember to keep your tension consistent to maintain the texture of the stitches.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends securely.
