Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your Cozy Pawfect Blanket:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop.
   • Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
   • Yarn over again and pull through the two loops on your hook to complete the magic ring.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Make 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) into the top of the chain-3. You should have 12 dc.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 3 (counts as dc), then make 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • Make 2 dc in each stitch around the circle.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You should have 24 dc.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 3 (counts as dc), then make 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • Make 1 dc in the next stitch.
   • Repeat the pattern: *2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You should have 36 dc.
5. Continue Increasing:
   • Continue the increasing pattern from Round 3, adding one additional single dc between increases for each round until your blanket reaches the desired size.
   • Remember to alternate colors every 5 rounds to create a beautiful striped effect.
6. Finishing:
   • Once your blanket is at the desired size (approximately 36 inches in diameter), finish with a round of single crochet (sc) in cream yarn for a neat edge.
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc to complete the round.

Your finished blanket will feature a plush and soft texture with alternating stripes of soft beige, warm brown, and cream. The outer edge will have a clean and polished look thanks to the single crochet border. Enjoy snuggling with your furry friend under this cozy blanket!
