Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in a soft pink color
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain that is a multiple of 4 plus 2. For example, you can chain 50 (which is 48 + 2). This will determine the width of your blanket.
2. Row 1: Skip the first chain from the hook. Single crochet (sc) in each chain across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work to start the next row.
3. Row 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet). Half double crochet (hdc) in each stitch across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work again.
4. Row 3: Chain 1. Now, you will create the textured pattern. *Single crochet in the next stitch, then double crochet (dc) in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. Make sure to end with a single crochet in the last stitch. Turn your work.
5. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your blanket reaches the desired length. You can adjust the length based on your preference, but typically, a cozy throw blanket is around 50 inches long.
6. 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. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a clean finish.
