Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in shades of moss green, bark brown, and cream
• Crochet Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 double crochets (dc) and 7 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 180 stitches. If you wish to adjust the width, you can use a multiple of 14 plus 2 stitches.
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • Dc in the next 5 chains.
   • Make a double crochet two together (dc2tog) over the next 2 chains, and repeat this dc2tog once more.
   • Dc in the next 5 chains.
   • Make 2 dc in the next 2 chains.
   • Repeat the following sequence across the row: dc in next 5 chains, (dc2tog over next 2 chains) twice, dc in next 5 chains, 2 dc in next 2 chains.
   • Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Dc in the first dc of the previous row.
   • Dc in the next 5 dc.
   • Make a dc2tog over the next 2 dc, and repeat this dc2tog once more.
   • Dc in the next 5 dc.
   • Make 2 dc in the next 2 dc.
   • Repeat the following sequence across the row: dc in next 5 dc, (dc2tog over next 2 dc) twice, dc in next 5 dc, 2 dc in next 2 dc.
   • Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
4. Continue Crocheting: Repeat Row 2 until your afghan measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for an even finish.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your afghan a clean finish.
