Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in warm sunset tones: burnt orange, golden yellow, and soft coral.
• Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 14 double crochets (dc) and 8 rows = 4 inches.
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your Rustic Farmhouse Baby Blanket:

1. Foundation: With burnt orange yarn, make a chain (ch) of 100 stitches.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across. Turn your work. (You should have 97 dc at the end of this row.)
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), then dc in each dc across. Turn your work.
4. Rows 3-10: Repeat Row 2 for a total of 8 rows, maintaining the burnt orange color.
5. Row 11: Change to golden yellow yarn. Repeat Row 2.
6. Rows 12-20: Continue with golden yellow, repeating Row 2 for a total of 9 rows.
7. Row 21: Change to soft coral yarn. Repeat Row 2.
8. Rows 22-30: Continue with soft coral, repeating Row 2 for a total of 9 rows.
9. Row 31: Change back to burnt orange yarn. Repeat Row 2.
10. Rows 32-40: Continue with burnt orange, repeating Row 2 for a total of 9 rows.
11. Finishing: Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using the tapestry needle.
12. Tassels: Cut 8-inch strands of each color (burnt orange, golden yellow, and soft coral). Group 4 strands together, fold them in half, and attach to each corner of the blanket using a lark's head knot. Trim the tassels to an even length for a polished look.

Your finished baby blanket will measure approximately 36 inches by 40 inches, featuring a soft and cozy texture with broad horizontal stripes in warm sunset tones. The playful tassels add a rustic charm that perfectly complements the farmhouse aesthetic. Enjoy your crafting journey!
