Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in a soft cream color
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by chaining a multiple of 4 plus 2 for your desired width. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, chain 106 (which is 104 + 2).
2. Row 1: Skip the first chain from your hook. Single crochet (sc) in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet (hdc)). Now, *front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * across the row. Make sure to end with a half double crochet (hdc) in the last stitch. Turn your work.
4. Repeat: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches your desired length. This will create the beautiful ribbed texture that makes this blanket so cozy.
5. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.

Now you have a stunning Cozy Crochet Ribbed Blanket that you can proudly display in your home or gift to a loved one. Enjoy your crafting!
