Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in shades of seafoam green, deep blue, and sandy beige.
• Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in double crochet.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 150 stitches using the seafoam green yarn. Make sure your chain is not twisted.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, work a double crochet (dc). 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). Now, *work a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc, then a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next dc; repeat from * across the row, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Rows 3-10: Repeat Row 2 for a total of 8 rows, maintaining the same pattern of fpdc and bpdc.
5. Change Color: Switch to the deep blue yarn for the next section.
6. Rows 11-20: Repeat Row 2 again, using the deep blue yarn for these 10 rows.
7. Change Color: Now switch to the sandy beige yarn.
8. Rows 21-30: Repeat Row 2 once more, this time using the sandy beige yarn for these 10 rows.
9. Continue Pattern: Keep alternating colors every 10 rows (seafoam green, deep blue, sandy beige) until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length.
10. Finish with a Border: To complete your blanket, chain 1 and work a single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire blanket. In each corner, work 3 single crochets to create a nice rounded edge. Once you have crocheted all the way around, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends.

Your Ocean Kiss Beach Blanket is now complete! Enjoy your beautiful creation at the beach or as a cozy throw at home. Happy crocheting!
