Materials Needed

• Crochet Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 x 4 inches = 14 stitches x 12 rows in bow stitch pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Row: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 120. This will form the foundation of your blanket.
2. Row 1: Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Now, *skip 2 stitches, work 5 double crochets in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches, and single crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. After completing the row, turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1, then single crochet in the first stitch. Next, *chain 3, skip the 5 double crochets you just made, and single crochet in the next single crochet; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work at the end of the row.
5. Row 4: Chain 3, then *work 5 double crochets in the chain-3 space from the previous row, single crochet in the next single crochet; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work when finished.
6. Repeating Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 3 and 4 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for a uniform look.
7. Final Row: Once you have reached the desired length, single crochet in each stitch across the final row. This will give your blanket a neat edge. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
