Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 180 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight; it should be comfortable to work into.
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • Next, *chain 2, skip 2 chains, and make a dc in the next chain; repeat from * across the row.
   • At the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Now, *make a dc in the next dc, chain 2, and make a dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row.
   • Turn your work at the end of the row.
4. Row 3:
   • Chain 4 (this counts as your first dc).
   • *Skip the next dc, make a dc in the next chain-2 space, chain 2, and make a dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row.
   • Turn your work at the end of the row.
5. Row 4:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • *Make a dc in the next dc, chain 2, and make a dc in the next chain-2 space; repeat from * across the row.
   • Turn your work at the end of the row.
6. Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 3 and 4 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to check your measurements regularly to ensure consistency.
7. Edging:
   • To finish, chain 1 and single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire blanket.
   • In each corner, work 3 sc to create a nice rounded edge.
   • Once you have completed the edging, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends to tidy up your work.
