• Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Woodland Whisper Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 150 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the overall drape of the blanket.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). Continue to sc in each chain across the row. At the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to start the new row. Make a sc in each stitch across. Turn your work again.
4. Row 3: Chain 2. This will count as your first double crochet (dc). Make a dc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work.
5. Row 4: Chain 1. Make a sc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
6. Row 5: Chain 3. This will count as your first treble crochet (tr). Make a tr in each stitch across the row. Turn your work.
7. Row 6: Chain 1. Make a sc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
8. Repeat Rows 3-6: Continue to alternate between Rows 3 to 6, changing colors every 6 rows to create a beautiful striped pattern. Use forest green for the first 6 rows, then moss for the next 6, and bark brown for the following 6, and repeat this sequence until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length.
9. Finishing the Blanket: Once you reach the desired length, it’s time to add a border:
   1. Round 1: With forest green yarn, sc evenly around the entire blanket. Place 3 sc in each corner to keep the corners rounded. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.
   2. Round 2: Switch to moss yarn and repeat Round 1.
   3. Round 3: Finally, switch to bark brown yarn and repeat Round 1 again.
10. Finishing Touches: Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a neat finish.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Woodland Whisper Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and rustic charm it brings to your home!
