Instructions

Step 1: Foundation Chain

Start by making a slip knot and chaining 101. This will be the width of your blanket.

Step 2: Row 1

In the 4th chain from the hook, work a double crochet (dc).
*Skip the next chain, work a dc in the next chain.*
Repeat from * to * across the row until you reach the end. You should have 50 double crochets.
Turn your work.

Step 3: Row 2

Chain 3 (counts as first dc). Turn your work.
*Skip the first dc, dc in the next dc.*
Repeat from * to * across the row until the end. You will always end with a dc in the last stitch. Turn your work.

Step 4: Repeat

Continue repeating Row 2 until the blanket measures about 60 inches in length, or until you reach your desired size. Remember to keep the tension even.

Step 5: Finishing

Once your blanket reaches the desired length, cut the yarn leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure. Use the tapestry needle to weave in all loose ends.
