Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight (worsted) yarn in cream and lavender shades
• Hook: Size I/9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 inches = 12 double crochets and 6 rows

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 120 chains. This will be the width of your blanket. You can adjust the number of chains for a wider or narrower blanket as desired.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. You should have a total of 118 double crochets at the end of this row.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), turn your work. Now, *skip 1 dc, and in the next dc, make (dc, ch 1, dc)*. Repeat from * across the row, ensuring to end with a dc in the top of the turning chain (the 3rd chain you made at the beginning of this row).
4. Color Change: Change to lavender yarn. Repeat Row 2 for a total of 6 rows, maintaining the same stitch pattern.
5. Return to Cream: Change back to cream yarn and repeat Row 2 for another 6 rows. You should now have 6 rows of lavender followed by 6 rows of cream.
6. Continue Alternating: Keep alternating between the cream and lavender yarns, repeating Row 2 for each color for your desired blanket length. Make sure to finish with a cream row to create a cohesive look.
7. Edging: Once your blanket reaches the desired length, switch to cream yarn for the edging. Single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire blanket. In each corner, create a scalloped edge by making (sc, ch 3, sc) to give it a beautiful finish.
8. Finishing Touches: After completing the edging, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your blanket a clean, polished look.

Now you have your very own elegant textured striped blanket! Enjoy the cozy warmth it brings to your home or gift it to someone special. Happy crocheting!
