Textured Green Crochet Blanket

This crochet blanket is made using a textured stitch that creates a cozy and warm fabric. The rich green color makes it an inviting addition to any living space.

Materials Needed:

• Yarn: Worsted weight acrylic yarn in green (approx. 1000 yards)
• Hook: 5.5mm (I) crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

10 double crochets (dc) = 4 inches across

Abbreviations:

• ch - chain
• sc - single crochet
• dc - double crochet
• st - stitch
• sl st - slip stitch

Instructions:

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 151 ch. This will give you a blanket width of approximately 40 inches.
2. Row 1: In the 3rd ch from the hook, make 1 dc. Continue making 1 dc in each remaining chain until the end of the row. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Ch 2 (this counts as your first dc), then make 1 dc in the next st. Now make 1 sc in the next st. Alternate 1 dc, 1 sc across the row. End with a dc in the last st. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Ch 2, then make 1 dc in the first st. Now make 1 sc in the next st (the dc from the previous row). Alternate 1 dc, 1 sc across the row. End with a dc in the last st. Turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3: Keep repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your blanket measures about 60 inches in length or until you reach your desired size.
6. Final Row: After reaching the necessary length, ch 1 and make 1 sc in each st across the row to give your blanket a nice finish. Turn your work.
7. Fasten Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure the ending. Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.
8. Blocking (optional): Lightly steam or lay flat to block your blanket for an even finish.
