Introduction
Welcome to this crochet blanket pattern tutorial! In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a beautiful and cozy throw blanket using the fast and easy crochet technique. We will provide you with all the information you need, from the materials required to the step-by-step instructions. So grab your crochet hook and let's get started!
Materials Needed
Before we dive into the crochet process, let's gather all the materials you will need to complete this project. Here's what you will need:
- Super bulky yarn: We recommend Lion Brand's Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in the color "Spice Market." The exact yardage required can be found on our blog.
- Scissors
- Needle: You will need a needle to weave in the ends of your yarn.
- Crochet hook: A 15mm crochet hook is recommended for this pattern. If you don't have a 15mm hook, you can use the next available size.
Starting the Blanket
To begin, create a slip knot and secure it onto your crochet hook. We will be starting with a chain stitch for this pattern. For a small swatch, chain 13. If you are making a full-sized blanket, chain 57 (or as many as you desire, ensuring it is an odd number). Remember to keep your tension even and not to chain too tightly.
Working Row 1
After chaining the desired number of stitches, it's time to start Row 1. Insert your hook into the third chain from the hook, skip over the first two chains. Yarn over, pull up a loop, and insert your hook into the following chain. Yarn over, pull up a loop. You should now have three loops on your hook. Yarn over, pull through the first two loops, then yarn over, pull through the final two loops. Remember to chain one after completing this stitch. Repeat this process across the row.
Repeating Row 2
Once you have finished Row 1, it's time to move on to Row 2. Chain two and turn your work. For Row 2, you will be working your hook through stitches and chain spaces instead of chains. Remember that the chain two does not count as a stitch. Insert your hook into the first stitch from the previous row and complete a stitch. Then, insert your hook into the chain space and complete another stitch. Continue repeating this pattern across the row, ensuring you chain one after each stitch.
Working Row 3
For Row 3, chain two and turn your work. Follow the same process as Row 2, working your hook through stitches and chain spaces. Repeat this row for the rest of the blanket, as this is the repeating pattern for the entire project.
Finishing the Blanket
Once you have completed the desired number of rows for your blanket, finish with a regular single crochet stitch into the last stitch. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any ends if necessary. Your crochet blanket is now complete and ready to be enjoyed!
