Materials and Tools

To crochet the Boardwalk Blanket, you will need the following materials and tools:

• Worsted weight 100% acrylic yarn
• Karen Cinnamon Swirl Cakes by Yarnspirations (color: Boardwalk)
• 5 mm or H8 crochet hook
• Stitch markers
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Pattern Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create your Boardwalk Blanket:

3.1. Starting the Blanket

To begin, make a slip knot and create a foundation chain. For the size mentioned in this tutorial (55 in by 70 in), chain 186. If you wish to change the size of your blanket, follow the stitch multiple guidelines of four stitches plus two.

3.2. Working the Stitch Pattern

The Boardwalk Blanket features a straightforward stitch pattern that creates a solid texture. Work a single crochet into the second chain from your hook, and then single crochet into each stitch across. At the end of each row, chain one and turn your work.

3.3. Continuing the Blanket

Continue repeating Row 3, which includes single crochet, chain two, and four double crochet stitches, along with front post single crochet stitches. Repeat this row until your blanket measures approximately 66 inches from the beginning.

3.4. Working the Edging

After reaching the desired length, it's time to add the edging. Work Row 1 of the edging by chaining three and working a double crochet into each double crochet stitch across. For the top row, skip the chain twos and single crochet stitches.

4. Finishing Touches

Complete Rows 2 to 4 of the edging to finish off the blanket. Weave in any loose ends and give your finished blanket a final inspection to ensure all stitches are secure and even.

5. Conclusion

Congratulations on completing your very own Boardwalk Blanket! This textured and cozy crochet throw will be a beautiful addition to your home decor or a thoughtful gift for someone special. Enjoy the comfort and style of this versatile blanket for years to come.
