Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight cotton yarn
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain in multiples of 2 plus 1. For example, if you want your blanket to be 40 inches wide, you might chain 81 (80 + 1).
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet. Continue to single crochet in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to begin the new row. In the first stitch, make a single crochet. Then, *double crochet in the next stitch, single crochet in the following stitch; repeat from * across the row. This will create the textured pattern. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
4. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. Keep in mind that the more rows you add, the larger your blanket will become. A good length for a lap blanket is around 50-60 inches.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Finally, weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.

Now you have your very own cozy textured crochet blanket! Enjoy snuggling up with it or gifting it to someone special. Happy crocheting!
