Materials Needed

• Yarn: Lightweight cotton yarn in shades of sunflower yellow, meadow green, and sky blue.
• Crochet Hook: Size G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in double crochet.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 180 chains (ch). Ensure your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the flexibility of your wrap.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a 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, *skip the next stitch, make a dc in the next stitch, then make a dc in the skipped stitch (this creates a cross stitch)*. Repeat from * to * across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then make a dc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work when you reach the end.
5. Repeat Rows 2-3: Continue alternating between Row 2 and Row 3, changing colors every 4 rows. To change colors, simply finish the last stitch of the row with the new color yarn. Keep going until your wrap measures approximately 60 inches in length.
6. Finishing Touch: Once you have reached the desired length, finish with a row of single crochet (sc) around the entire wrap. This will give it a clean and polished edge.
7. Weaving in Ends: Finally, weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. This will help keep your wrap looking neat and tidy.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Sunlit Meadow Summer Blanket Wrap. Enjoy the vibrant colors and cozy feel of your new creation!
