Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn in cream
• Hook: Size N/P (10 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 waffle stitch repeats = 8 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot and chaining a multiple of 4 plus 2 for the desired width of your blanket. For example, if you want a width of 32 inches, you would chain 66 (64 + 2).
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. At the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc, then back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Finish the row with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 2. Now, *bpdc around the next fpdc, then fpdc around the next bpdc; repeat from * across the row. End with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your blanket reaches the desired length. This creates the beautiful waffle texture that makes this blanket so cozy.
6. 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, snuggle up with your new Cozy Crochet Waffle Blanket and enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings!
