Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Forest Fern Throw:

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 120 stitches using the forest green yarn. Ensure your chain is not twisted.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the row. You should have a total of 118 dc. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). *Skip the next dc, dc in the next dc, then dc in the skipped dc (this creates a crossed dc). Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then dc in each dc across the row. Turn your work.
5. Row 4: Change to moss green yarn. Chain 3, then *dc in the next 2 dc, chain 1, skip the next dc, dc in the next 2 dc, and dc in the skipped dc (this creates the fern leaf motif). Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
6. Row 5: Chain 3, then dc in each dc and chain-1 space across the row. Turn your work.
7. Repeat Rows 2-5: Continue to alternate colors between forest green, moss green, and cream every 10 rows. Keep repeating until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length.
8. Finishing the Blanket: To finish, switch to cream yarn. Single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire blanket, placing 3 sc in each corner to maintain the shape. Fasten off and weave in all ends securely.
