Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in cream and light gray
• Hook: Size H/8 (5 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 pattern repeats = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Using the cream yarn, create a foundation chain that is a multiple of 6 plus 4. For example, you can chain 34 (which is 30 + 4) for a small blanket.
2. Row 1:
   1. In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   2. Now, *chain 2, skip the next 2 chains, and make a dc in the next chain.
   3. Chain 2 again, skip the next 2 chains, and make a dc in the next 2 chains.
   4. Repeat from * across the foundation chain until you reach the end.
   5. Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   1. Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   2. Now, *chain 2, skip the chain-2 space from the previous row, and make a dc in the next dc.
   3. Chain 2, skip the next chain-2 space, and make a dc in the next 2 dcs.
   4. Repeat from * across the row until you reach the end.
   5. Turn your work.
4. Continuing the Pattern:
   1. Repeat Row 2 for the next rows, alternating colors every 4 rows. For instance, after completing 4 rows in cream, switch to light gray for the next 4 rows.
5. Length of the Blanket: Continue repeating the pattern until your blanket reaches the desired length. A standard lap blanket is usually around 40 inches long.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
