Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Chunky Basketweave Crochet Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by chaining a multiple of 6 stitches, then add 4 more stitches. For example, if you want a blanket that is 36 inches wide, you might chain 60 (which is a multiple of 6) plus 4, totaling 64 chains.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from your hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the row. At the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Start with a chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *make a front post double crochet (fpdc) in the next 3 stitches, then a back post double crochet (bpdc) in the next 3 stitches; repeat from * across the row. Finish with a dc in the top of the turning chain from the previous row. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Again, chain 3 (counts as dc). This time, *make a bpdc in the next 3 stitches, then an fpdc in the next 3 stitches; repeat from * across the row. End with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3: Continue alternating between Row 2 and Row 3 until your blanket reaches your desired length. This creates the beautiful basketweave texture.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it and pulling it through the last loop. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a polished finish.

Congratulations! You’ve just completed your very own Chunky Basketweave Crochet Blanket. Enjoy the warmth and coziness it brings to your home!
