Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Woodland Fern Blanket:

1. Foundation Chain: Begin with a foundation chain of 120 stitches. 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. 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 stitch)*. Repeat from * to * across the row. Finish 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. Rows 4-10: Repeat Rows 2 and 3, alternating colors every two rows to create a striped effect. For example, use forest green for Rows 2 and 3, then switch to moss for Rows 4 and 5, and so on.
6. Row 11: Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) in each dc across the row. Turn your work.
7. Rows 12-20: Repeat Rows 2-11, maintaining the same color sequence you established earlier.
8. Continue the Pattern: Keep repeating the pattern until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. Measure your work periodically to ensure you reach the desired size.
9. Finishing Touch: To finish your blanket, create a border by chaining 1 and then sc evenly around the entire blanket. Make sure to work 3 sc in each corner to keep the edges neat. Once you have completed the border, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.

Your Woodland Fern Blanket is now complete! Enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your home, and take pride in your beautiful, handmade creation.
