Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your cozy crochet ribbed blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by chaining a multiple of 4 plus 2 for your desired width. For example, if you want a blanket that is 40 inches wide, you might chain 106 (which is 104 + 2).
2. Row 1: Skip the first chain from your hook. In the next chain, make a single crochet (SC). Then, in the following chain, make a double crochet (DC). Repeat this pattern of *single crochet in the next stitch, double crochet in the next stitch* across the row. Finish the row by making a single crochet in the last stitch.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 and turn your work. In this row, you will be working into the stitches of the previous row. Start by making a single crochet in the double crochet of the previous row. Then, make a double crochet in the single crochet of the previous row. Continue this pattern of *single crochet in the double crochet, double crochet in the single crochet* across the row. Again, finish with a single crochet in the last stitch.
4. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Row 2 until your blanket reaches the 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 tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Finally, weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your blanket a clean finish.
