Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in natural beige
• Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by chaining a multiple of 8 plus 4 stitches. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, you might chain 104 (which is 8 x 12 + 4).
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • Now, *chain 1, skip the next chain, and make a dc in the following chain; repeat from * across the row.
   • After reaching the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Make a dc in the first dc of the previous row.
   • Now, *chain 1, skip the next chain, and make a dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1.
   • Turn your work.
4. Row 3:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Make a dc in the first dc of the previous row.
   • Now, *chain 1, skip the next chain, and make a dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 2.
   • Turn your work.
5. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 3 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Remember to measure periodically to ensure it’s the size you want!
6. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
