Materials Needed

• Crochet Hook: Size H/8 (5mm)
• Gauge: 4 blocks x 4 blocks = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 120 chains. Ensure that your chain is not twisted.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to make a dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next 4 stitches, then make a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next 4 stitches; repeat from * across the row. End with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3 (counts as first dc). Now, *make a bpdc around the next 4 stitches, then make a fpdc around the next 4 stitches; repeat from * across the row. End with a dc in the top of the turning chain. Turn your work.
5. Repeat Rows 2 and 3: Continue alternating between Row 2 and Row 3 until your blanket measures approximately 36 inches in length. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for an even texture.
6. Finish with a Border: To create a neat finish, chain 1 and single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire blanket. In each corner, work 3 sc to maintain the shape. Once you have completed the border, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
