Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in golden yellow
• Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by chaining a multiple of 4 plus 2 for the desired width of your blanket. For example, if you want a width of 40 inches, you might chain 162 (4 x 40/4 + 2).
2. Row 1: Skip the first chain, then single crochet (sc) in each chain across. Once you reach the end of the row, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet, dc). Now, *skip the next single crochet, double crochet in the next single crochet, then double crochet in the skipped single crochet (this creates a cross-stitch)*. Repeat from * to * across the row. End with a double crochet in the last single crochet. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1, then single crochet in each double crochet across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
5. Repeat: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your blanket reaches the desired length. You can measure as you go to ensure it’s the perfect size for your needs.
6. Finishing: Once you’ve reached your desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your blanket a clean and polished look.

And there you have it! Your very own Golden Textured Crochet Blanket. Enjoy the cozy warmth and the satisfaction of having crafted this beautiful piece by hand!
