Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in a natural beige color
• Crochet Hook: Size 10mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain that is a multiple of 6 plus 2. For example, if you want a blanket that is 36 inches wide, you would chain 38 (6 x 6 + 2 = 38).
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • Next, *chain 1, skip the next chain, and make a dc in the following chain; repeat from * across the entire row.
   • Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • In the first chain-1 space from Row 1, make a dc.
   • Now, *chain 1, skip the next dc, and make a dc in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * across the row.
   • End the row with a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1, then turn your work.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. This could be anywhere from 40 to 60 inches, depending on your preference.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a long tail. Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish.

Now you have your very own cozy chunky crochet blanket! Enjoy snuggling under it or displaying it as a beautiful addition to your home decor.
