Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Enchanted Forest Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 150 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight; it should be flexible enough for the first row.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make 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). *Skip the next dc, dc in the next dc, then dc in the skipped dc (this creates a crossed dc). Repeat from * across the row, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then dc in each dc across the row. Turn your work.
5. Rows 4-6: Repeat Row 2 for these three rows. This will help build the texture of the blanket.
6. Row 7: Chain 3, then *dc in the next 2 dc, chain 1, skip the next dc; repeat from * across the row, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
7. Row 8: Chain 3, then *dc in the next dc, dc in the chain-1 space, dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
8. Rows 9-12: Repeat Rows 7 and 8 twice. This will create a beautiful pattern of leaves.
9. Row 13: Chain 3, then dc in each dc across the row. Turn your work.
10. Repeating Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 2-13 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will ensure that your blanket is cozy and ample for use.
11. Finishing: Once you reach the desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle for a clean finish.
