Cozy Pink Crochet Blanket
Materials:
- Yarn: Worsted weight (4), approximately 800 yards of 100% acrylic yarn in pink.
- Crochet Hook: Size H (5.0 mm).
- Scissors.
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
Gauge:
With size H hook, 14 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in double crochet stitch. To measure gauge, crochet a swatch of 20 stitches for 10 rows. Measure the swatch and adjust hook size if needed to match the gauge.
Abbreviations:
- ch = chain
- dc = double crochet
- sl st = slip stitch
- st(s) = stitch(es)
Instructions:
Starting Chain: Chain 125 (or your desired width). This will give you a blanket width of about 48 inches.
Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make 1 dc. Continue making 1 dc in each chain across. (Total of 123 dc).
Row 2: Turn your work. Chain 3 (counts as 1 dc). In the same stitch, make 2 dc. *(Skip the next stitch, make 3 dc in the next stitch)*. Repeat from * to * across the row. You should end with 2 dc in the last stitch.
Row 3: Turn and repeat Row 2 for a total of 30 rows or until your blanket reaches your desired length (approximately 40 inches).
Finish Edging (Optional): For added texture, add a simple border of slip stitches around the entire blanket. Slip stitch in each dc around, placing 3 slip stitches in each corner.
Finishing Tips:
- Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle for a clean finish.
- To block your blanket, gently wash it with mild soap, reshape it to desired dimensions, and let it air dry flat.
Optional Variations:
- Change the color every few rows for a striped effect.
- Add a pom-pom at each corner for a fun touch.
