Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in 7 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
• Hook: 5.5 mm (I/9) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in larksfoot stitch pattern.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation: Chain 120 (or any multiple of 4 + 2 for your desired width). This will be the starting point of your blanket.
2. Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn your work.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Double crochet (dc) in the next stitch.
   • Now, *chain 1, skip 1 stitch, and dc in the next 3 stitches; repeat from * across the row, ending with a dc in the last 2 stitches. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1, then sc in each stitch and chain-1 space across the row. Turn your work.
5. Row 4:
   • Change to the next color yarn.
   • Chain 3, then dc in the next stitch.
   • Repeat the same pattern as Row 2: *chain 1, skip 1 stitch, and dc in the next 3 stitches; repeat from * across, ending with a dc in the last 2 stitches. Turn your work.
6. Continue the Pattern: Repeat Rows 3 and 4, alternating colors every 2 rows, until your blanket reaches the desired length. Feel free to adjust the length based on your personal preference.
7. Final Row: Once you have reached your desired length, sc in each stitch across the final row. This will give your blanket a neat edge.
8. Finishing: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Little Larksfoot Rainbow Blanket. Enjoy the cozy warmth and vibrant colors that you have created!
