Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your Elegant Leaf Lace Crochet Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Start by chaining a multiple of 8 plus 2 additional chains. For example, if you want a width of 40 inches, you might chain 98 (96 + 2).
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 row.
   • After reaching the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Now, *dc in the next chain-1 space, chain 1, skip the next dc, and dc in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * across the row.
   • End with a dc in the top of the turning chain, then turn your work.
4. Row 3:
   • Chain 3 to start the row.
   • Proceed with *dc in the next chain-1 space, chain 1, skip the next dc, dc in the next chain-1 space, chain 1, and skip the next dc; repeat from * across the row.
   • Finish with a dc in the top of the turning chain, then turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your blanket reaches your desired length. This pattern creates a beautiful, flowing design that resembles leaves.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached the desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
