Step-by-Step Instructions
Foundation
Begin by making a slip knot with the burnt orange yarn and chain (ch) 102. This will serve as the foundation for your blanket.
Row 1
In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the row. Turn your work. You should have a total of 100 dc at the end of this row.
Row 2
Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *skip the next dc, dc in the next dc, then dc in the skipped dc (this creates a cross stitch)*. Repeat from * to * across the row. Turn your work.
Row 3
Chain 3, then dc in each dc across the row. Turn your work.
Rows 4-5
Repeat Row 2 and Row 3 for a total of two more rows.
Change Color to Golden Yellow
For Rows 6-10, repeat Rows 2-5 using golden yellow yarn.
Change Color to Soft Peach
For Rows 11-15, repeat Rows 2-5 using soft peach yarn.
Change Color to Deep Coral
For Rows 16-20, repeat Rows 2-5 using deep coral yarn.
Continue the Pattern
Continue alternating colors every 5 rows, repeating the pattern until your blanket measures approximately 36 inches in length.
Edging
Once the blanket reaches the desired length, switch back to burnt orange yarn. Chain 1 and single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire blanket, placing 3 sc in each corner to create a neat finish. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to complete the edging.
Fringe
To create the fringe, cut 10-inch lengths of yarn in each color. Hold 3 strands together, fold them in half, and attach them to every other stitch along the short ends of the blanket using a lark's head knot. Once all fringe is attached, trim it to even out the lengths.
Finishing
Finally, weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a clean finish. Your beautiful Cottagecore Baby Blanket with Fringe is now complete!
