Textured Cloud Stitch Throw Blanket Pattern

Skill Level: Beginner

Size: 50" x 60" (adjustable)

Materials:
- Bulky weight yarn (approx. 1,200 yards)
- Size N (10.0 mm) crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Stitches Used:

• Chain (ch)
• Single crochet (sc)
• Double crochet (dc)
• Cloud stitch (instructions below)

Instructions:

Creating the Foundation:

1. Ch 75 (or any multiple of 6 plus 3 for width).

Row 1:

1. In the 4th ch from hook, dc.
       *Skip 2 ch, in next ch (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc) – this forms the cloud stitch.* Repeat from * to * across. Finish with 1 dc in the last ch. Turn.

Row 2:

1. Ch 3 (counts as dc), turn.
       *In each cloud stitch, (1 dc, ch 2, 1 dc).* Repeat across to the last dc where you will make another dc. Turn.

Repeat Rows 1 and 2:

1. Continue this pattern until the blanket reaches your desired length (about 60" recommended).

Finishing:

1. Finish with a border of sc around the entire blanket:
       Ch 1 and sc in each stitch, making 3 sc in each corner stitch for a clean finish. Fasten off.

Notes:

• Use a bulky weight yarn for optimal fluffiness.
• This pattern can be easily adjusted for size by changing the number of foundation chains.

Enjoy your cozy, textured throw blanket!
