Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: With the cream yarn, make a slip knot and chain 120. This will be the foundation of your blanket.
2. Row 1: Starting in the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc) in each chain across. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), then *skip the next dc, front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc, and dc in the skipped dc; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then make a dc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work.
5. Change Color: Switch to the orange yarn. Repeat Rows 2 and 3 using the orange yarn.
6. Change Color Again: Now switch to the rust yarn. Repeat Rows 2 and 3 using the rust yarn.
7. Continue Alternating: Keep alternating colors every 2 rows (cream, orange, rust) while maintaining the stitch pattern until your blanket reaches your desired length.
8. Finishing Touches: Once you have reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
