🌸 How To Make This Blanket (Step-by-Step):

1. Start with a Chain:
   Choose a length that suits your desired blanket width. Jasmine stitch builds slowly, so even 80 chains creates a decent width.

2. Master the Puff:
   Jasmine stitch uses a 3-loop puff worked into each chain-1 space. It's rhythmic once you get used to it.

3. Keep Tension Even:
   Since puffs can tighten your fabric, focus on gently pulling up each loop to keep the blanket soft and flexible.

4. Repeat Rows Until Long Enough:
   A baby-sized version is typically ~60 cm x 80 cm, but you can go bigger.

5. Optional Edging:
   Single crochet or picot edge works well to frame the texture.
