Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in the following colors:
  • Cream
  • Mustard
  • Rust
  • Olive Green
  • Slate Blue
• Hook: Size N (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: With the cream yarn, make a slip knot and chain 80. This will form the foundation of your blanket.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across. When you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first dc for this row). Make a dc in each stitch across the row. Turn your work at the end of the row.
4. Change Color: Switch to the mustard yarn. Repeat Row 2 by chaining 2 and making a dc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
5. Next Color: Change to rust yarn. Again, repeat Row 2 by chaining 2 and making a dc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
6. Continue with Olive Green: Change to olive green yarn. Repeat Row 2 by chaining 2 and making a dc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
7. Switch to Slate Blue: Change to slate blue yarn. Repeat Row 2 by chaining 2 and making a dc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
8. Color Sequence: Continue alternating colors every two rows, following this sequence: cream, mustard, rust, olive green, slate blue. Make sure to turn your work at the end of each row.
9. Length of Blanket: Keep repeating the color sequence until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Remember to check your measurements as you go!
10. Finishing: Once you reach your desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using a yarn needle. This will give your blanket a neat finish.
