Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your Dreamy Cloud Lace Baby Blanket:

1. Chain 120: Start by making a slip knot on your crochet hook. Chain 120 stitches. This will form the foundation of your blanket.

   • Continue to dc in each chain across the row.
   • Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Skip the next dc, then in the next dc, work (dc, chain 1, dc). This creates the first lace section.
   • Now, *skip the next 2 dc, then in the next dc, work (dc, chain 1, dc); repeat from * across the row.
   • End the row by dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work.
4. Row 3:
   • Chain 3 (counts as your first dc).
   • Dc in each dc and chain-1 space across the row.
   • Once you reach the end, turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3: Continue alternating between Row 2 and Row 3 until your blanket measures approximately 36 inches in length.
6. Finish:
