Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn
• Crochet Hook: Size K (6.5 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain 100: Start by making a slip knot and chaining 100 stitches. This will determine the width of your blanket. If you desire a wider or narrower blanket, adjust the chain count accordingly.
2. Row 1: In the fourth chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work to begin the next row.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). Now, *make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, then a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the following stitch; repeat from * across the row. End this row with a dc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row. Turn your work again.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches the desired length. You can measure your progress by laying the blanket flat and checking its length. Remember, the beauty of this blanket lies in its texture, so take your time to ensure even stitches.
5. Finish Up: Once you’ve 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. 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 under it or gifting it to someone special. Happy crocheting!
