Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Enchanted Forest Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a slip knot with the forest green yarn. Chain 120 stitches. This will form the width of your blanket.
2. Row 1: Double crochet (dc) in the fourth chain from the hook. Continue to double crochet in each chain across. Turn your work. (You should have 117 dc stitches.)
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Double crochet in the next stitch and in each stitch across. Turn. (117 dc)
4. Row 3: Change to moss yarn. Chain 3, then *front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next stitch; repeat from * across. Turn your work.
5. Row 4: Chain 3, then *bpdc around the next stitch, fpdc around the next stitch; repeat from * across. Turn your work.
6. Rows 5-10: Repeat Rows 3 and 4. You will create a textured ribbed pattern with the moss yarn.
7. Row 11: Change to bark brown yarn. Chain 3, then dc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
8. Rows 12-15: Repeat Row 11. This will create a solid and dense section of your blanket.
9. Row 16: Change to cream yarn. Chain 3, then dc in each stitch across. Turn your work.
10. Rows 17-20: Repeat Row 16. This section will add a light and airy touch to your blanket.
11. Repeat Rows 1-20: Continue repeating these rows until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will give your blanket a beautiful, layered look.
12. Finish with a Border: Using the forest green yarn, single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire blanket. Make sure to place 3 sc in each corner to keep the edges neat. Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends with a yarn needle.
