Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in golden yellow
• Hook: Size J (6.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain. Create a chain that is a multiple of 12 plus 3 additional chains. For example, if you want a blanket that is 48 inches wide, you would chain 12 (for every 12 inches) times 4 (for 48 inches) plus 3. This gives you a total of 51 chains.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, double crochet in each chain across the entire row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Begin with a chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc from the previous row, then make a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Finish with a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Start with a chain 3. Now, *make a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next fpdc from Row 2, then make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next bpdc; repeat from * across the row. End with a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 2. Turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3: Continue to alternate between Row 2 and Row 3 until your blanket reaches your desired length. This will create the beautiful wave pattern.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn. Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends to ensure a clean finish.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own Golden Waves Crochet Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your home!
