Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in coral and cream
• Hook: Size N (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Slip Knot: Begin by making a slip knot on your crochet hook. This will be your starting point.
2. Chain 60: Chain 60 stitches (or adjust to your desired width). Make sure your chains are not too tight to allow for easy stitching in the next steps.
3. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, work 2 double crochets (dc). This creates your first textured stitch. Then, skip the next 2 chains, and in the next chain, work 1 double crochet. Continue this pattern by skipping 2 chains and working 1 double crochet in the next chain until you reach the end of the row.
4. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), turn your work. In the first stitch, work 2 double crochets. Now, *work 1 double crochet in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches, and repeat from * across the row until you reach the end. This will create the textured pattern.
5. Continue the Pattern: Repeat Row 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. Make sure to check your gauge to ensure consistency in your stitches.
6. Switch to Cream Yarn for Edging: Once your blanket is the desired length, switch to the cream yarn. Work a round of single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket. This will give it a neat finish and help stabilize the edges.
7. Create the Decorative Edge: For the decorative edge, *chain 5, slip stitch in the same stitch, skip 2 stitches, and repeat from * around the entire edge of the blanket. This will create a lovely scalloped effect.
8. Finish Up: Once you have completed the decorative edge, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle. This will give your blanket a polished look.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a beautiful crochet textured blanket with a decorative edging. Enjoy snuggling up with your new handmade creation!
