Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in deep jewel tones: emerald, sapphire, amethyst, and ruby.
• Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 4 inches = 14 double crochet (dc) and 7 rows.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 150 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight to allow for easy crocheting in the next steps.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the foundation chain. You should have a total of 148 dc at the end of this row. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *chain 1, skip the next dc, and dc in the following dc; repeat from * across the row. Make sure to end with a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then dc in the first chain-1 space from Row 2. Now, *chain 1, dc in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * across the row. End with a dc in the top of the turning chain from Row 2. Turn your work.
5. Pattern Repeat: Continue to repeat Rows 2 and 3 for the pattern. Every 10 rows, change colors to alternate between your jewel tones, creating a beautiful stripe effect. Make sure to keep track of your rows to maintain the color sequence.
6. Length Measurement: Continue crocheting until your afghan measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will ensure that your blanket is large enough for comfortable use.
7. Final Row: For the final row, chain 1, then single crochet (sc) in each dc and chain-1 space across the entire row. This will give your afghan a neat finish. Once you reach the end, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.

Congratulations! You’ve just completed your Enchanted Jewel-Toned Fairycore Afghan. Snuggle up in it or display it as a beautiful piece of art in your home. Enjoy your cozy creation!
