Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your very own Enchanted Forest Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 150 stitches. This will form the foundation of your blanket.
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row.
   • Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work to start the next row.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Make a dc in the next stitch.
   • Now, *chain 1, skip the next stitch, and dc in the next 2 stitches; repeat from * across the row.
   • End the row with a dc in the last stitch and turn your work.
4. Row 3:
   • Chain 3.
   • Make a dc in each dc and chain-1 space across the row.
   • Once you reach the end, turn your work to start the next row.
5. Repeat: Continue to repeat Rows 2 and 3 until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will create a beautiful texture with alternating rows of double crochet and openwork chain spaces.
6. Finishing:
   • Once your blanket reaches the desired length, finish with a border of single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket.
   • In each corner, work 3 sc to create a neat finish.
   • Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

The finished blanket will be a cozy, rectangular piece measuring approximately 50 by 60 inches. It features a subtle texture created by the alternating rows and a color palette reminiscent of a forest, with deep forest green, soft moss, and rich earth brown hues. Enjoy snuggling under your new Enchanted Forest Blanket!
