Cozy Crochet Blanket with Scalloped Edges

Materials:

Yarn: 2 skeins of bulky weight yarn (approximately 200-250 yards total, e.g., Bernat Blanket Yarn)

Crochet Hook: Size N (10.00 mm)

Scissors

Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

8 stitches = 4 inches in single crochet. To check gauge, make a small swatch with 10 stitches and 10 rows. If your swatch measures 5 inches by 5 inches, you are on the right track!

Abbreviations:

ch = chain

sc = single crochet

sl st = slip stitch

st = stitch

sp = space

Instructions:

Foundation Row: Start by making a slip knot and chain 70 (or any multiple of 4 + 2 for the desired width). This will create a solid foundation for your blanket.

Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make 1 sc. *Skip the next stitch, make 2 sc in the following stitch. Repeat from * to the end of the chain. Turn your work.

Row 2: Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), make 1 sc in the first stitch. *In the next 2 sc, make a total of 2 sc in the first of those stitches. Repeat from * until you reach the end of the row. Turn your work.

Rows 3-8: Repeat Row 2 a total of 6 more times, adjusting the number of stitches as necessary to maintain the scalloped shape. You should have a total of 8 rows with a lovely texture developed.

Edging: Once your blanket reaches the desired length (approximately 50 inches is a standard length), you’ll add a scalloped edging. Start with a sl st in the first stitch of the final row. Ch 1, then *make 3 sc in the next stitch, skip 1 stitch, sl st in the next stitch.* Repeat from * until you reach the corner. This creates a lovely finish.

Finishing:

Weave in all loose ends using your tapestry needle.

To block your blanket and enhance the scallops, lightly stretch the edges while damp and lay it flat to dry.

Optional Variations:

Change yarn colors every few rows for a striped effect.

Add fringe to the ends for extra flair.
