Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Blanket Base

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Make a loop with your yarn, leaving a long tail. Insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, and pull through to create the first stitch.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, then make 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You should have 24 dc.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. You should have 36 dc.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, dc in the next stitch, *2 dc in the next stitch, dc in the next 2 stitches; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. You should have 48 dc.
6. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until you reach Round 10. Your blanket should be circular at this point.

Switch to Stripe Pattern

1. Stripe Pattern: Begin with Row 1. Using neon pink, chain 3, then dc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work.
2. Row 2: Switch to neon green, chain 3, and dc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
3. Row 3: Switch to neon blue, chain 3, and dc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
4. Row 4: Switch to neon yellow, chain 3, and dc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
5. Repeat the Stripe Pattern: Continue repeating the stripe pattern until your blanket measures 36 inches square. Each stripe should be approximately 2 inches wide.

Finishing the Blanket

1. Border Round 1: Using neon pink, single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire blanket. Place 3 sc in each corner to give it a nice rounded finish. Join with a sl st.
2. Border Round 2: Switch to neon green, chain 1, and sc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st.
3. Fasten Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it. Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.
