Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight (worsted) yarn
• Hook: 5.5 mm (I-9) crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches in pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 100 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight to allow for easy stitching in the next rows.
2. Row 1:
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
   • Make 2 more dc in the next 2 chains.
   • Now, repeat the following sequence across the row: *chain 2, skip 2 chains, dc in the next 3 chains; repeat from * until you reach the end of the row.
   • Turn your work to start the next row.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Make a dc in the first dc of the previous row.
   • Now, repeat the following sequence across the row: *front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next dc, back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next dc; repeat from * until the end of the row.
   • Turn your work.
4. Row 3:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • In the next ch-2 space, make 3 dc.
   • Then, dc in the next 3 dc from the previous row.
   • Repeat the sequence: *3 dc in the next ch-2 space, dc in the next 3 dc; repeat from * until you reach the end of the row.
   • Turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your blanket measures approximately 36 inches in length. This will create the lovely textured pattern.
6. Border:
   • To finish your blanket, work 1 round of single crochet (sc) around the entire blanket.
   • In each corner, make 3 sc to create a nice rounded edge.
7. Scalloped Edge:
   • For a decorative finish, create a scalloped edge by repeating the following sequence: *chain 3, skip 1 sc, sc in the next sc; repeat from * around the entire blanket.
   • Join your last stitch and fasten off the yarn securely.

Congratulations! You have successfully crocheted a cozy textured blanket. Enjoy snuggling under your beautiful creation or gifting it to someone special!
