Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin with a foundation chain of 144 stitches using the cream yarn. Make sure to keep your tension even for a uniform look.
2. Row 1:
   • Dc (double crochet) in the 4th chain from the hook.
   • Next, *dc in the next 5 chains, dc3tog (double crochet 3 together) over the next 3 chains, dc in the next 5 chains, 3 dc in the next chain; repeat from * across.
   • End with 2 dc in the last chain. Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Ch 3 (this counts as your first dc), then dc in the first dc.
   • Next, *dc in the next 5 dc, dc3tog over the next 3 dc, dc in the next 5 dc, 3 dc in the next dc; repeat from * across.
   • End with 2 dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Repeat Rows: Repeat Row 2 for 10 more rows, alternating colors every 2 rows in the sequence of soft pink, cream, and lavender. This will create the beautiful chevron pattern.
5. Heart Motif:
   • Switch to soft pink yarn and work 2 rows of single crochet (sc) across the top edge of the blanket.
   • To create the heart shapes, use surface slip stitches in lavender yarn to outline heart shapes between the chevron peaks. Take your time to ensure the hearts are evenly spaced and aligned.
6. Finishing Touch:
   • Finish with a border of 2 rows of single crochet in cream yarn around the entire blanket.
   • In each corner, work 3 single crochets to create a rounded finish.
   • Fasten off and weave in all ends securely to prevent any unraveling.
